THREE REASONS TO WAIT ON GOD

For since the beginning of the world Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, Nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him. Isaiah 64:4

God acts on the behalf of those who wait for Him.

One Minister's experience;

"Lord I want to learn to wait upon you." So every night from about 12 on wards right up to one, he consecrated one hour just to wait on God. He would enter his prayer closet and kneel before

Him saying, "Lord I wait for you." Many months passed and after many, many months one day he came to God and he said, "Lord this is the last night that I am waiting on you." And towards the end of his waiting he felt the presence of the Lord standing behind him. He did not dare to look around. 

He wondered what to say, what to do. Before he could say anything he felt the Lord putting His hand on his shoulder. And he felt that the hand was wet. He said, "Lord why is your hand

wet?" The Lord said, "I am weeping because many of my people did not wait for

Me. They always rush ahead of Me. They always do things by themselves. And my

people did not wait for Me." When he heard that he started crying and he started

weeping. And that experience changed his whole life. "

There is an importance in learning to wait on God. And one of the first reasons is

that waiting on God is our way of saying we love Him.
