---WHY WAIT?

-"I waited patiently for the LORD: and
He inclined to me and heard my cry."
--(PSALM 40:1)--

--In our "on demand" age, the prospect of waiting for God to answer us may seem almost irrational. Why delay meeting our needs when we have options right in front of us?

Yet the benefits of waiting upon God far outweigh those of forging ahead apart from His involvement. Why? because He knows the future and we don't. Our decisions are usually based on an incomplete assessment of our existing circumstances. We cannot see what is still to come or what is outside our influence. But God can. He knows how our choices today impact tomorrow.

Likewise, the Lord has a plan for your life, and His purposes for you far exceed anything you can come up with yourself. For example, rushing headlong into marriage or a business venture may fit your plan, but not His--and it may also be disastrous.

But when you wait for Him, you're demonstrating that you want to do His will above your own. Yes, waiting on God is tough, but that is precisely how your faith is strengthened and your inner character is molded into Christ's image. So regardless of how pressing your need may be today, remember that waiting on God is always well worth it. ~~

----MY HOPE IS IN JESUS BECAUSE
HE KNOWS THE BEST PATH FOR ME. ~~
