Wait on me, says the Lord…He will save

“Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey…The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.” - Zephaniah 3v8,17

It seems sometimes like there is a lot of waiting on God in the Bible. No one likes waiting. We are all kind of like children when it comes to wait. We get excited about what is coming and we want what we want when we want it. We can be like kids fidgeting in the back seat saying, “Are we there yet?”

Generally, we know what is best what is coming and what is best for our children. God does so more than generally. He always knows what is best and He always knows what timing is best. The problem is that like those kids we don’t always “get it.”

One day it is all going to make sense – the Lord knows best. Like impatient children we need to sit down, carry on with what we need to do, and trust that He is going to always do the right thing!
