| Blessed Are They That Wait for Him: Isaiah 30:18 |
📖 Scripture:
“And therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the Lord is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him.” — Isaiah 30:18 (KJV)
Devotional:
Sometimes, waiting feels like silence. Like delay. Like God forgot.
But Isaiah 30:18 reminds us that God waits on purpose — so He can be gracious.
He isn't slow. He’s intentional.
He waits—not to withhold mercy, but to pour it out at the right moment. His delays are not denials. His timing is always rooted in love.
Reflection:
Have you ever prayed… and waited?
Not because you lacked faith, but because heaven was quiet.
Sometimes, the delay isn’t a denial — it’s divine preparation.
God may be positioning you not just to receive what you prayed for,
but to receive it with strength, wisdom, and grace you wouldn’t have had before.
Daily Wisdom Insight:
God waits for the right moment, not the convenient one.
And He blesses those who trust Him enough to wait, too.
Application:
This week, identify an area in your life where you’ve felt discouraged by delay.
Instead of growing weary, lean into Isaiah 30:18.
Speak it out loud.
Remind yourself that the waiting has purpose — and grace is on the way.
Prayer:
Lord,
Thank You for not being in a hurry.
Thank You that Your waiting is grace in disguise.
Teach me to trust Your timing, even when it feels long.
Help me wait well, with hope, not fear — with worship, not worry.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
