God Acts For Those Who Wait
Backgrounder on Isaiah 63-66:
In the light of the present calamity
and the coming glory, there can
only be one fitting response from
God’s people: repentance for
their pride and rebellion. The twin
themes that have dominated
Isaiah’s message- condemnation
and consolation appear again in
the concluding verses: The hand
of the Lord shall be known toward
his servants (consolation) and
His indignation towards His
enemies (condemnation) (66:14).
Lord, You Act for Those Who Wait:
O that you would burst from the
heavens and Come Down! How
the mountains would quake in
Your presence!.. When You Came
Down long ago, you did awesome
things beyond our highest expectations. For since ancient times no one has heard… no eye
has seen any God besides you,
who acts on behalf of those
Who Wait for Him (Isaiah 64:1-4).
Lord, thank you for doing awesome
things and for working beyond
my highest expectations.
And You continue to do them
for those who wait for you.
Help me to wait for you with hope.
Fill me with a holy expectancy of Your Coming and glorify yourself thro my ministry & my life. Amen.
Lord, You have good plans for us
and Your plans are always worth
the wait. But in our instant society,
waiting can be tough, especially
so when the wait has been long.
So, hear my cry for I Am Waiting
on you to act. Help me not to put
a time limit on when I think you
should act. I want to trust that You
will act in just the right time. Amen
In His time, in His time
He makes all things
beautiful In His Time
Lord, please show me everyday
As You’re teaching Your way
And I’ll do just what You say
In Your time.
In Your time, In Your time
You make all things
beautiful in Your time
Lord, my life to You I bring
May each song I have to sing
Be to You a lovely thing
In Your time. Amen!
