“The Lord is my portion says my
soul, therefore I hope in Him.”
~Lamentations. 3:24
Waiting on the Lord means directing our attention to him in
hopeful anticipation of what He will do.
It means trusting Him with every fiber of our being instead of trying to
figure things out for ourselves. He
wants us to stay conscious of Him as we go about our daily life.
He has promised many blessings to those who wait on him: renewed strength, resurgence of hope,
awareness of His perpetual presence, His abiding peace. Waiting on Him enables us to glorify Him by
living in deep dependence on Him, ready to do His will. It also allows us to enjoy Him as His presence is the fullness of joy” (Psalm
16:12).
Do you have fullness of joy? If not, ask yourself, Am I in His
presence? Maybe you don't feel fullness of joy if you recently lost a loved
one, suffered a broken relationship, or had your job terminated. This is
normal. It is difficult to feel joy in the midst of a funeral, a divorce or a
firing.
Your challenge this week will be to use this scripture or
another verse that describes our hope in the Lord or how we experience fullness
of joy. Please use keyword ODBDBVT20
