Are You Waiting and Allowing God's Word To Strengthen Your Heart While You Wait?

One of the hardest things to do is to wait for the timing of God.   The thing is, God's timing is not always our timing.   We have become so accustomed to doing and getting things our way and what we have to understand is, it's not about having it our way.   It's all about living and doing things God's way.
   
The Bible says to wait on the Lord and that He will strengthen our heart.   What we tend to do is get weak in our waiting.   Instead of allowing our faith and God's Word to strengthen us, we tend to get weak, and lose our hope and faith.    We get to a place where we try to work things out on our own instead of waiting on God by standing still and trusting His Word.
  
Psalms 27:14
Wait on the LORD: be of good courage,
and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

The book of Habakkuk talks about the vision being for an appointed time.  When you have an appointment, that is a set time.   It is a time that has been set aside for a particular thing.   Understand, life is a series of appointments with God.   He has already set aside particular times in your life for everything needed in your life to occur.    You have to wait for the appointment and trust Him in the waiting.

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION

Habakkuk 2:3
For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.

Ecclesiastes 3:11
He hath made every [thing] beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

Galatians 6:9
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
