While I Wait

I live by faith, and not by sight, sometimes miracles take time.

Video: Lincoln Brewster - While I Wait

Deep within my heart, I know You've won

I know You've overcome

And even in the dark, when I'm undone

I still believe it

I live by faith, and not by sight

Sometimes miracles take time

While I wait, I will worship

Lord, I'll worship Your name

While I wait, I will trust You

Lord, I'll trust You all the same

When I fall apart, You are my strength

Help me not forget

Seeing every scar, You make me whole

You're my healer

While I wait, I will worship

Lord, I'll worship Your name

While I wait, I will trust You

Lord, I'll trust You all the same

You're faithful every day

Your promises remain

Though I don't understand it

I will worship with my pain

You are God, You are worthy

You are with me all the way

So while I wait, I will worship

Lord, I'll worship Your name

Though I don't have all the answers

Still I trust You all the same

Lamentations 3:26  It is good to wait quietly for deliverance from the Lord.

Micah 7:7  But I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.

Philippians 4:6-7  Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.  7  Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

Waiting isn't a fun thing to do, it isn't an easy thing to do either, usually we are not at ease when we wait. Too often the wait is for something to be said that we don't want to hear, the report from the doctor or someone else with a great possibility for bad news.

It is difficult to accept waiting for things that are out of our control, most things are out of our control, but if I remember the one that is in control it will help me deal with it.

We need to remember that:

1. God is sovereign over all things, including the trials that come into our lives, it is difficult to understand that not only does he allow trials, he also sends trials.

2. God sends trials and difficulty so that he can show his glory to his people and to the rest of the world. The supernatural way that God saves his people brings glory to himself.

3. God ordains trials so that we will learn to trust Him to deliver us out of the worse circumstances.

Through all of our difficult and challenging situations God reminds us that he created us for his glory and he saved us to display his glory to the world so that all of mankind will know him.

Thank you Lord for reminding me that I can trust you when life doesn't make sense and I don't have all of the answers.
