God Waits

Isaiah 30:18a “The Lord waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you.”

As I read this in my daily devotional study time this morning, this truth “God waits” illuminates in my mind. It is like a bright light is lit in my brain. God waits. He drew me to Him and patiently waited as I searched the scriptures, searched my heart and finally cried out to Him. God is patient with us, not wanting any to die without Him (2 Peter 3: 9, 15).

What if we meditate on this: God waits. If God is patient with me, and oh how patient He is with me, then He is patient with all of us. What has God laid on your heart that you are pushing away? What sins do we need to confess and clear out of our lives? If we want to actively search the scriptures, to know God more, we must put aside self to imitate Christ. God is waiting for us to give our lives completely to Him. Let us surrender today.
