Waiting for the Lord is not just killing time.
Doubt has a negative effect on our confidence.
When God asks us to wait, we take it as an invitation that wants us to do something on our own. While we’re waiting and idle, it doesn’t mean that God is idle.
If you are waiting on God, you are watching for God.
In the midst of waiting, God becomes our sustenance.
Waiting makes us so vulnerable. It requires us to be dependent upon someone else.
Our faith and confidence in God is dependent upon our willingness to trust and wait on God.
Waiting reminds us that we are not the center, and there’s not a thing we can do about it.
Waiting reveals to others something about us. Waiting reveals to us something about God.
Unfortunately, we are convinced that our identity directly comes from what we do. In our relationship with God, there’s something about embracing and remembering who we are as children of God.
Rest assured in the time of waiting that the Lord your God is the everlasting God.
Waiting is not killing time. Waiting is looking around and looking for the God who spoke and creation leapt into existence.
Waiting is not sitting around and not doing anything. Waiting is the active anticipation of what’s next.
Carlos Whitaker: “The way to catch up to the voice of God is not speeding up but slowing down.”
God graciously makes His vitality available to our fallen world with only one condition: Wait on God.
To wait on God is to admit that we have no other help in ourselves or any other person or thing. Waiting on the Lord is a constant declaration of our confidence in Him.
Waiting on God is our confidence expectation in God.

The proclamation of forgiveness that has already been declared in heaven.
They were not special or dynamic men and women of faith. They were just people who were willing to listen to God.
We claim that what we want is to know what will happen exactly. When we do know, we then try to figure out what to do based upon our own strength. The tension is that when this happens, we tend to have more confidence in ourselves than in God.
The Holy Spirit knows what the future holds. He knows what we get today will be needed for then.
The Holy Spirit is at work within us to empower us to be people who will listen.
The Holy Spirit is all around us and encompassing us.
“Not everything in the Bible is about me. But everything in the Bible is for me.”
First and foremost, the Holy Spirit empowers you to be a witness for Christ — to speak boldly about Him.

Recent Sermon, “Devoted Things” on August 23, 2020 (http://youtube.spumccolumbus.com)
“Man who moved out of the heart of God by sin now moves back into the heart of God through redemption. God, who moved out of the heart of man because of sin, now enters again His ancient dwelling to drive out His enemies and once more make the place of His feet glorious.” (A. W. Tozer, “God’s Pursuit of Man”)
We have the amazing love of God the Father. We have the amazing reception of Jesus. We have the amazing gift of the Holy Spirit.
We should involve God in every part of our life because God wants to be involved in every part of our life.
How do I use and become comfortable with the Holy Spirit and make Him a more intimate part of my life? Spend the time to get to know God and His love for you.
Life gives us opportunities to rely more on God and less on ourselves.
In that split second moment, we must decide where we will place our trust.
“The basis of Christian growth is to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ proclaimed over and over and over again.”
Everything that we live in should come back to that Image of Christ.
Embrace the Monday through Saturday mentality of giving each day to God.
What if you embraced the gift of the Holy Spirit in your life each and every moment?
