WAITING WITH THE RIGHT MENTALITY
TIMES OF REFRESHING ONLINE DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: WEDNESDAY, 7 JUNE 2023
We all want good things to happen in our lives, but too often we want it now…not later. And when it doesn’t happen as we expected, we’re tempted to feel sour and gravely bitter. However, waiting is a necessary process and a part of life. Every one of us knowingly or unknowingly subscribes to it in a different way. But then again, the Bible encourages us in Eccl. 7:8, it says,
SCRIPTURE: The end of a matter is better than the beginning, and a patient spirit is better than a proud one. (Eccl. 7:8 BSB)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: So, waiting is a sure sub for all, but the question now is, when we wait, do we wait the right way or the wrong way? If we wait the wrong way, we’ll be miserable; but if we decide to wait the right way, the God’s way, we can become patient and enjoy the wait. Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: It takes practice to learn patience while we wait, but as we let God help us in each situation, we would develop true peace and joy.
RESPONSIBILITY: So, dearly beloved, ask God for the grace to be patient in your waiting season.
PRAYER: O LORD, give me the grace to be patient even in my waiting season, in Jesus’ name, Amen!
PROPHETIC WORD: As you wait and trust in God for anything good in life, may the Lord answer you and send you help speedily, in the name of Jesus’ Amen!
BIBLE TEXTS: Ecclesiastes 7:8
