Commit to Memory: “Seek the Lord and His strength; yearn for and seek His face and to be in His presence continually!” (1 Chronicles 16:11 AMPC).
The strength we need most is not earned or achieved in the flesh but in the spirit when we wait on the Lord. That is we dwell in his presence, been alone with God like Jacob until our destiny is altered by God. This explains why the Bible says Jesus will go into the mountain very early in the morning to pray and seek the face of God and as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering (Luke 9:29). So we see that waiting makes us transformed into the image and likeness of God.
Dearly Beloved of God, are you weighed down and you see no solution close by? Wait on God. Stop running after men, run to God by Waiting. Do you want to be ahead of your time and have effortless results beyond human comprehension? The key is Waiting on the Lord. And by waiting on the Lord, we mean staying in the presence of God to praise, worship, pray, fast and inquire of His leadings and promptings as it concerns your destiny. That shame, debts, pain, sorrow, sickness, reproach, stigma, delay and setback will become history if you cultivate the habit of waiting on the Lord. The reason why you are yet to see breakthrough in that area of your life that you are currently having a down time is that you lack the requisite strength to sustain the corresponding success which Waiting brings. Psalm 27:14 says
“Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”
When you experience the strength supplied by the Holy Spirit, it will not be because you finally tapped into your strength, but because you finally gave up relying on your own strength by making prayer and fastings a regular in your life. Your present location or society may want you to believe you’re filled with unbounded potential to accomplish the impossible, but the key to achieving anything truly meaningful or lasting is realizing you never can achieve anything truly meaningful or lasting on our own by the strength of the flesh. If you feel weak, you do not need more of you; you need more of God. How? By “Waiting on the Lord”. Create time to wait on the Lord today.
Reflection: There are times when the will of God is not clear to us, in such moments- Wait on God…
Prayer Lines: Father as I wait on you, strengthen me for every circumstance in Jesus name.
