Wait on God....Courageously and Joyfully



            Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  What are you waiting on?  Go ahead and drink in the JOY of the Lord!

            Most of us would agree that sometimes it’s really hard to wait!  Who likes to wait in long lines? We certainly don’t like to wait long to be served in a restaurant because we’ve come there hungry! Children think Christmas or their birthday will NEVER get here!   Waiting is hard…especially when you are looking forward to something.

            What about waiting on God to answer your prayers?  That can get really challenging! Some people pray for something for years…and it seems that God isn’t listening to these heart-felt requests.  Some people give up on God—thinking that He will never answer that prayer.  Charles Stanley writes in his book, Waiting on God, that ”the only ‘never’ you should focus on is that God will never let you down. Whatever it is you yearn for—no matter how long you have to wait—you can trust the Father to lead you and know for absolute certain that He has your very best interest in mind. The key  is to remember WHOM it is that you’re really anticipating.” 

         Deuteronomy 31:6 (NIV) says,  Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

          Joyfully wait…while focusing on the truth that He will NEVER let you down!
