Waiting for God

Learning to wait upon God.

People generally think 'waiting' is sitting around doing nothing. Thats not what the Bible says about waiting. Waiting upon the Lord is a positive active decision.

Psalm 62:1 - My soul waits in silence for God only;

Psalm 62:5 - My soul, wait in silence for God only,

Waiting for God means to 'pause' and wait for further instruction. You don't make a decision until you receive word from God.

The wisest thing to learn is to learn when to act, when to stop, when to be quiet. when to wait, until God gives us direction. Most people in life get into trouble when they refuse to wait upon God. This is because it is one of lifes most difficult lessons to learn, waiting upon someone i cannot see, waiting when i cannot hear anything or cannot see what is going on, especially when everybody is shoving you along and telling you to "do something" and "move on, get something started"

When God doesn't tell you to move, you better not move. You have to stay in your present position and wait for God. You need to learn to
listen to God. if i dont know how to listen to God or how to hear Him, how can i know when to move and when to wait. Learning to wait and learning to listen go hand in hand.

You need to know how to hear Him.

Wait, just wait, be silent and wait. Don't move until God gives you directions.

Psalm 62:8 - Trust in Him at all times O people;
Pour out your hearts before Him;
God is a refuge for us.

The power belongs to God, He says in times of storms, don't try to manipulate your circumstances, don't rush out, just wait. He says He is our salvation, our rock, our stronghold, our refuge, our hope, everything we need. Trust in Him always as He will act on our behalf and when He does, we will see a demonstration of His power.

Wait on Him.
