DAY TWO: Wait on the Lord  

This story reminds us that even when we have attained what we thought we wanted, it does not equate to waiting on what God has for us.

Even when God gives us personal assurance or a prophetic insight, we may not get what we feel He has promised us in the way we expected. Those situations often tempt us to take matters into our own hands and try to force people and events to conform to what we believe we—and God—want to be done. God wants us to wait on Him and remain patient in the face of obstacles and impossible odds. But we want to hit the fast-forward button and jump to the healing, the miracle, the promise fulfilled, and the gift.

To receive what the Lord has for you only requires your faith. Faith, and faith alone, saves you. Our idea of best might differ greatly from God’s knowledge of best, according to His divine wisdom and omniscience. God’s ways are higher than our ways, and we cannot know all that He knows. What if you simply need to stop worrying so much and working so hard and surrender your need at the feet of the Lord Jesus Christ?
