Isaiah 30:18 "Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you..He rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for Him"
We talk a lot about cultivating a spirit of patience, and learning to wait on the Lord. But we rarely think that the Lord also waits on us.
He stands at the door..like a spiritual benefactor...His arms laden with blessings. He waits until we are ready to receive. He waits for the perfect moment. He waits until we can appreciate we are asking for. He waits until we have made sufficient preparations in our heart. He waits until we are not too busy to notice. He waits until we are free from resentment or discontentment.
He waits until our understanding is elevated. He waits until our arms are open and unhindered. Sometimes He waits until we actually believe He has forgotten..but as that happens our faith grows. It's not just a matter of His waiting. It's that He waits wisely because His love for us is so great.
