"A Waiting Game"

Scripture Reading:
Psalm 37:7 (HCSB)    Be silent before the Lord and wait expectantly for Him; do not be agitated by one who prospers in his way, by the man who carries out evil plans.

Devotional Reading:

I don't like to wait in long lines at restaurants, physician offices which ask you to come 15 minutes ahead of schedule to wait 40 minutes after your appointment,  being stuck in traffic during rush hour, or being put on hold by a computer when I answer the phone. Waiting is a waste of time, can I get an amen to that one. When this is our attitude, waiting on God becomes so difficult for so many believers. That's also why many people quote the verse that is not in the Bible, "God helps those who help themselves." That's American ideology, but it's not biblical.  The statement speaks to the lack of faith, how God needs us to take charge to get things done.  Get one thing straight, God does not need you, you need Him.  But one thing's for sure: What we need to do is to trust God and be willing to do His will, in His timing, not our own, for the right action at the right time equals the right result.  Waiting on God is tough, but God's timing is always best for us and for others.  More of Him and less of you, is a solution to every problem of your day.

Keep the Son in your eyes,
