4 Obedient Ways to Wait on God

I know. It’s so tough to wait on God.

But what if God orchestrates His works at the perfect time in our lives for His glory and sovereignty?

Even if things look and feel hopeless, His glory shows up in the choicest hour.

From Genesis to Revelation, stories of miracles and His mighty works grace the pages of God’s Word. The dead come back to life. Nature obeys the Creator’s voice—the rain comes or stops, the winds and waves cease or the sun doesn’t set.

Still further, a virgin gives birth to the messiah. A boy’s lunch of a few fish and bread multiplies to feed thousands.

The lame walk, the blind see, and the oppressed find freedom.

And there are many ways we see God in our daily lives. Like breath in our lungs, provision, mercy, heavenly wisdom, forgiveness, and so much more.

But His people also had to wait on God in biblical days and it’s no different in present day.

Wait on God

Not only does the Lord perform wonders for His people at the opportune time. But moments and miracles of faith require us to follow God’s instructions.

In Exodus 14, Moses leads the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt. A place of physical and emotional bondage. As God’s people travel through the wilderness, the Egyptian ruler, Pharaoh, and his army pursue them.

The scene looked and felt hopeless. Have you been in this place before?

“And they said to Moses,…are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness? Why have you treated us this way and brought us out of Egypt?…it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness” Exodus 14:11-12. (Emphasis mine.)

The Israelites find themselves up against a huge barrier, the Red Sea. As they wait on the shore, the enemy closes in with no where for them to go.

But, I’m familiar with the it-would-have-been-better attitude. Are you?
