"And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him" (Isaiah 30:18).
Despite the fact that the people of God looked to Egypt for help and despised the true word of God, the Lord longed to be gracious to His people. But in Isaiah's day and in our day as well the Lord holds back his blessings and waits before he demonstrates His graciousness to His people. What is He waiting for? He waits for His people to wait on Him. After declaring to God's people that the Lord waits to be gracious unto you, Isaiah wrote, "Blessed are all they that wait for him." When we are waiting on the Lord we quietly and confidently look to him for help. We trust that he will answer our prayers in His good time.
When waiting on God remember also that perhaps God is waiting on you to trust in Him, to persevere in prayer, or to repent of all known sin in your life. What might the Lord be waiting on you for before he releases his blessings upon you life?
