Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be gracious to you; And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the Lord is a God of justice; Blessed are all those who wait for Him.
- Isaiah 30:18 (NKJV)
I am going to age myself here, but that is ok, I am getting old, and I admit it!
There were several commercials in the late 70’s for Heinz Ketchup that used Carly Simon’s song “Anticipation” as the theme, showing a little kid waiting patiently for the ketchup to come out of the bottle, their slogans were “it’s slow good” and “the taste that’s worth the wait”.
Sometimes anticipation is good, as described in the commercials, it’s worth the wait.
Other times anticipation can be nerve racking.
But when we wait on God, we are blessed with good things.
Chris Tomlin tells us this in his song “Everlasting God”:
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord
Our God, You reign forever
Our hope, our strong Deliverer
You are the everlasting God
The everlasting God
You do not faint
You won't grow weary
...
You're the defender of the weak
You comfort those in need
You lift us up on the wings
Like eagles
...
It’s ok to anticipate the good things that the Lord has in store for us because when we wait on Him the blessings are definitely worth it.
God is so good, and when our praises go up His blessings rain down!
