PROPHETIC MONDAY | WAITING ON THE LORD
Part 1 The Waiting Room
“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength…” Isaiah 40:31
Have you ever ordered food at a restaurant and suddenly the wait becomes longer than expected?
You start wondering, What is taking so long? Did they forget about me? Why did they suddenly get busy?
Nobody likes unexpected delays.
But what if I told you:
There is building in the wait.
Many times, we become impatient because we believe we need something right now. But the question is: Do you really need it now, or does your flesh simply want it now?
It’s the same with God.
You prayed.
God spoke.
You received the promise.
You believed.
And now, you wait.
Welcome to God’s waiting room.
But God’s waiting room isn’t an empty room. It’s a preparation room.
While you’re asking, “God, when?”
God may be asking, “Are you ready?”
In the waiting, God is preparing destiny, increasing knowledge, expanding understanding, healing broken places and enlarging your capacity to carry what He’s preparing to release.
Joseph waited before the palace.
David was anointed before the throne.
Abraham received the promise before he held Isaac.
Moses had the wilderness before returning to Egypt.
Their waiting wasn’t wasted.
God was preparing the person who would eventually carry the promise.
So don’t run out of God’s waiting room because you’ve become impatient.
Don’t manufacture an answer because God’s answer seems delayed.
Don’t accept an Ishmael because Isaac hasn’t arrived yet.
There is strength hidden in the waiting.
There is maturity hidden in the waiting.
There is preparation hidden in the waiting.
Sometimes God isn’t making you wait because the promise isn’t ready.
Sometimes He’s preparing you for the weight of the promise.
So let Him work.
Let Him stretch you.
Let Him strengthen you.
Let Him enlarge you.
Your strength is being renewed.
Your capacity is being enlarged.
And God is preparing you for what comes next.
There is building in the wait.
