Waiting. I know that I’ve talked about patience and waiting on God before. However, I cannot begin to explain how important it is to wait on the Lord. God has promised to take care of us, to provide for us, and to help us in our time of need. These are promises we can be certain won’t be broken. Even if it takes a long time, God never breaks His promises. He is always faithful and we need to trust in Him. This week I was reminded of that. 

“The Lord is good to all, and His tender mercies are over all His works.” – Psalm 145:9

            The other night I was thinking of God’s promises. How He has promised to take care of us and provide for us. I thought back on all the time’s God answered my prayers. Some of my prayers were answered immediately and others took years. However, God has not failed me yet. In thinking of that, I was reminded of the song “Do It Again” by Elevation Worship.

Your Promise still stands

Great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness

I’m still in Your hands

This is my confidence

You‘ve never failed me yet

I’ve seen You move

You move the mountains

And I believe I’ll see You do it again

You made a way

Where there was no way

And I believe I’ll see you do it again

            God is good. We can never forget that. Even when things get hard, we need to remember that He is right there by our side. The bible tells us that He listens to our prayers and that if we believe, we will receive them. Yes, sometimes our prayers indeed go answered. However, we don’t know what God has planned for us. It could be that He has something better in mind for you or that it isn’t time yet. Whatever the case may be, when we truly look back, we see that He never fails us.

“Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments;” – Deuteronomy 7:9

            Don’t lose hope and don’t lose faith. God has not left you. He has not forgotten about you. Be confident in knowing that He will keep His promises. Seek His word, remain in prayer, worship His name. Our God is an awesome God, a loving God, a forgiving God, a faithful God. Never forget that He never fails us.

“The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.” – Zepheniah 3:17
