waiting

While I'm Waiting

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience

While I’m waiting
I will serve You
While I’m waiting
I will worship
While I’m waiting
I will not faint
I’ll be running the race
Even while I wait

I’m waiting
I’m waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I’m waiting on You, Lord
Though it’s not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait

I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting
I will serve You while I’m waiting
I will worship while I’m waiting on You, Lord

[song by John Waller]


But for you, O LORD, do I wait; it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer.Psalm 38:15

I wait quietly before God, for my hope is in Him. Psalm 62:5

I pray to God—my life a prayer—
and wait for what he'll say and do.
My life's on the line before God, my Lord,
waiting and watching till morning,
waiting and watching till morning. Psalm 130:5-6

Don't you know anything? Haven't you been listening?
God doesn't come and go. God lasts.
He's Creator of all you can see or imagine.
He doesn't get tired out, doesn't pause to catch his breath.
And he knows everything, inside and out.
He energizes those who get tired,
gives fresh strength to dropouts.
For even young people tire and drop out,
young folk in their prime stumble and fall.
But those who wait upon God get fresh strength.
They spread their wings and soar like eagles,
They run and don't get tired,
they walk and don't lag behind.
Isaiah 40:28-31


Waiting on the Lord is such a hard thing sometimes. . . However the wait is always worth it. God blesses us when we depend on Him and wait on His timing and His strength in every circumstance. We gain a peace and understanding about what is going on in our lives when we wait for Him. It is important though to remember to still serve, love, run the race, embrace the journey, be obedient, and trust when we are waiting as well. A waiting period doesn't mean that you just sit back and do nothing expecting everything...even if you are enjoying the moments in waiting or not you still have to worship the Lord and really seek His face. Living a life style of worship will help the waiting process because you will be trusting the Lord in every area, every decision, every aspect of your life.

As this song, and verses encouraged me so much to just focus on the Lord and wait on Him....I hope that you have been encouraged as well. Wait and see what the Lord will do with your obedient life. The blessings will be well worth the wait!
