Good Things Come To Those Who Wait
Many of us have heard the saying, “Good things come to those who wait.” This proverb reminds us that if we are patient and keep on doing what we know to do, we will eventually achieve our goal. God’s word has more to say about this.
Good things come to those who do what is right. Joy comes to those whose hearts are honest. You who are godly, be glad because of what the Lord has done. Praise him, because his name is holy.
Psalm 97:11-12
Even though we don’t have all the answers for our future and perhaps feel insecure about some of the unknowns, God’s promise to us is that, if we will follow Him and live with integrity doing what is right, He will fill our lives with good things and our hearts with joy.
Not only that, but in our eternal life with God, after our bodies die and are put in the grave, we will experience wonderful things that are way beyond our ability to even think about or imagine, and we will enjoy these gifts forever.
Some people live for God’s glory, for honor, and for life that cannot be destroyed. They live for those things by always continuing to do good. God will give eternal life to them.
Romans 2:7
The best news of all is, God knows we are unable to continually live according to His principles, so He gives us the gift of His Holy Spirit who fills us with wisdom and the power to overcome our weaknesses and the temptations that we will face along the way.
Even though you are evil, you know how to give good gifts to your children. How much more will your Father who is in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
Luke 11:13
Heavenly Father, we confess that we are weak, especially when it comes to remaining positive and hopeful when others around us aren’t or when situations don’t change as quickly as we wish they would.
Please fill us with Your Holy Spirit so we have the wisdom and strength to wait patiently for things to change and have the power to do what is right regardless of the circumstances we encounter.
We want to live for Your honour and continue to do good one day at a time. Please help us! Amen
Good things come to those who wait. Wise people say that. Maybe we can make space for their wisdom today and give God a chance to do something really good in our lives.
