Faith In Waiting

Isaiah 40:29-31

29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

It is sometimes hard to wait when we want something so bad or have been promised something and we don’t see it coming together for us. It’s even harder when we see someone else blessed before us. The thing in that is we can’t judge our blessing (business) off the timing of someone else’s. We don’t know how long they have been waiting.

In waiting we must stay faithful. Just because God promised it doesn’t mean we stop serving and being faithful. God wants to see if he can trust us. The thing that God has promised us and put in us has to work out. When we remain faithful to Him in continuing the work, we are telling God that we trust Him. We have faith that what He has said will come to pass.

What do we do while we wait? We need to pray, to study, to work, to remain faithful, and to grow in our faith. There is a lot of room for growth in a lot of areas while waiting. Besides, that’s what the waiting is for. God can’t release the blessing of our business until we are ready fully to receive it. We have to have the right mind, the right heart, the right amount of discipline, the right amount of expertise for whatever it is God wants to bless us with.

Have we ever thought that the blessing might not even be for us? Yes God blesses us with it. Yes it will benefit us. But what we do in life should be for God’s glory. In giving God glory we serve, we help others, and we help bring souls to Christ.

It is not always a fun time waiting. But in our waiting we have a lot of time to think. We can think of a strategy. What strategy will be better when working our business? Who can we reach from our business? Who do we want to reach from our business? What type of impact do we want our business to make on others?

Prayer and faith will get us through the waiting process. Pray that God instructs and directs us in our business. Pray that the purpose that our business was put in place for will be carried out. Pray that God sends us to those people that he wants us to bless. Pray that God not only bless our business but bless us more to be a blessing to others. With constant prayer and faith, our business will touch the masses.

Waiting is not always a bad thing. Great things come from waiting. Be patient and know that when the wait is over, the blessing will flow. Business will flourish.
