Volume 13, Issue 16: Wait Well

No Season is wasted. God uses every season for our good and for His glory. Even a season of waiting can be beautiful and meaningful. When you release your care to the Lord, you wait with ease. The Lord is faithful to occupy your waiting season with meaningful activities and gladness of heart.

Are in in between jobs, trusting for a job after your last one ended? Wait well. Are you waiting to start a business, or for your business to hit it off? Wait well. Are you waiting for a spouse or for a child or for the restoration of a relationship or situation? Wait well. Are you waiting for something to come about or for something to turn around? Wait well.

How do you wait well? By surrendering your care to the Lord. When you really give your care to the Lord, you no longer carry it. It ceases to be your burden. As such, you do not worry about it. You are not impatient, and you are not concerned about how long it would take. You are just there, happily going on with the business of living as you wait for the fulfillment of your heart's desire.

However, please note that waiting well doesn't hasten God. It makes life beautiful for us. We don't make ourselves wait well to manipulate God to act quickly. We wait well because it's good for us, it's the right thing to do, and it honours God. Besides, God cannot be manipulated. He is God, Sovereign above all. He does things in His time, which always turn out to be perfect timing.

You do yourself a disservice when you let your season of waiting rearrange your demeanor and put you in a frenzy. Do yourself a favour and cast your care to the Lord and wait well in your season of waiting.

For His Glory,

Lillian Chebosi
