Attitude Of ExpectancySample

Waiting is not something we genuinely like to do. 

Many times we get anxious or frustrated when we have to wait on something or someone. When my wife is getting ready for us to go out, I am always ready before her. Often I find myself pacing back and forth from the living room to the bedroom, until she finally tells me to go back into the living room and wait on her. 

Do you find yourself feeling the same way waiting for God to do something for you? Are you waiting on Him to answer a prayer that you’ve been praying for a long time? I know the frustration of waiting on an answer from God and I will tell you that worrying about it will not make the answer come any quicker or on your time.

There is scripture in Isaiah that uses the word “wait” in a different light. It’s not the wait we are accustomed to, like pacing around or just sitting there frustrated. You see, this wait really means hope & trust. This wait is a posture, an attitude that we must have, an attitude of expectancy in God. We can find our hope only in God. Only He has the answer we are searching for. A posture of waiting looks like this; I am expectantly waiting on God to come through for me. I am going about my day with hope and joy because God loves me and is on my side. I am his child and His promises are for me. The promise is that He will renew my strength. He will cause me to mount up on wings like eagles. He will cause me to run and not grow weary and not faint. You see, an attitude of expectancy in God brings the promises of God with it.

So walk in this day with an attitude of expectancy and find your hope in God.
