Wait on the Lord...


God heard their groaning and he remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob.  So God looked on the Israelites and was concerned about them.

 Exodus 2:24-25



Did you hear that?  God was concerned.  The Israelites were in captivity and slavery and they were crying out to God to rescue them.  They knew the covenant God had made and knew there would be a day of freedom; they just didn’t know when.  We learn many times in the bible that God’s timing is the most important thing.  He has a reason for answering prayer right away or for making us wait. 
            You might be waiting on God right now for an answer and feel like you must have an answer soon; but please be patient.  God is working out all the fine details and He is deeply concerned about our matters and desires and pain.  There was a time my husband and I were in a wilderness and we had to learn to just sit and wait for God.  My husband was laid off and I was working a part time job that didn't bring in much money.  With four children we just continued to pray our bills were met and food was on the table.  God was faithful to us and we did not worry.  Not for once did I think God was not listening to our plea for a job;  I had complete faith that He was concerned about us and that’s why He continued to meet our needs and sustain us day to day. 
          I don’t want to be a groaner for the Lord; but someone who cries out with Praise and Thanksgiving! -CiCi-
