PROMISE #44 - FEBRUARY 13
Promise #44:
If you wait for Me, I will work on your behalf.
Isaiah 64:4 (WEB)
For from of old men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear,
neither has the eye seen a God besides you,
who works for him who waits for him.
God loves it when we wait for Him to work on our behalf. While many might think that waiting on God is a passive exercise, I believe waiting is one of the most active things we can do! Waiting on God is acknowledging that He is our source for everything. When we wait on God, we trust Him to act on our behalf rather than trusting in our own resources to make things happen.
I believe that when we truly wait upon God in obedience to the direction of His Holy Spirit in our lives (Romans 8:14), we demonstrate our wholehearted trust in His goodness to lead us. When we trust Him, we honor His ability to do what we cannot do for ourselves. Today, I pray that we will all see the incredible benefits of learning to wait on God.
May each of us see the absolute wonder of waiting on God today. Psalm 37:7(a)... Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. (WEB)

Responsive Prayer:
Father, thank you for always working on my behalf. Help me see the wonderful benefits of ceasing from my own striving so that you can do for me far more than I could do for myself.
Today, I choose to trust in your goodness and wait for you. May I have the grace today to enter into the rest that Jesus invites me into as I co-labor with Him in the work you have called me to do.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
