Now that I'm Waiting, What Now?

Yesterday, we addressed the need for all those in a season of hurt to wait upon God.  When life has knocked you down, take that as an opportunity to bow before God and wait on Him.  But what do we do, if we do anything, while we wait?  I think the primary activity of one waiting is not praying, as we learned yesterday, but spending time in His Word.

Murray used Psalm 25:4-5 to teach that often when we wait we are waiting on instructions. The instructions of God always come from His Word, the Bible.  Much of the hardships of life are too complicated for us to truly solve.  Life can be overwhelming.  Only God, our creator, can give sound teaching on how to deal with these issues.  Sometimes these instructions are words of wisdom, such as those found in Proverbs. Other times they are the promises of God scattered throughout the Bible.  In all of God's Word we must have faith; faith in His righteousness, faith in His ways, faith in His promises.

If you find yourself in a time of waiting, be quiet before God and listen to and read His Word.

I will see you tomorrow.  Murray's devotional can be found here.
