LEARNING TO WAIT QUIETLY BEFORE GOD<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
David learned to wait quietly <\/span>before<\/span> God. He understood that his victory, his success, would not come from human wisdom nor strength, but from the Lord. Therefore, he trusted God for his reward.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Much of our worry and anxiety comes from our inability to control results and outcomes. We plan. We work. We worry. Yet, we often feel that all of our effort is in vain. This was how the prophet Isaiah must have felt when he wrote:<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“My work seems so useless! I have spent my strength for nothing and to no purpose. Yet I leave it all in the Lord\u2019s hand; I will trust God for my reward” (Isa. 49:4).<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Just like David, Isaiah felt that all his work for the Lord had come to nothing. Yet, he trusted God for his reward.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Never dig up in doubt, what you planted in faith. Wait quietly before the Lord in prayer, trusting that the harvest is in His hands. Quiet your troubled soul before the Lord. He is God and you are not. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
PRAYER: Dear Father, we wait quietly before You this day. Speak Lord, for we your servants are listening. We look to You, remembering that it is not by power, nor by might, but by Your Spirit, O Lord. Fill us afresh. In Jesus’ name, amen.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
