Daily D – 2 Kings 6:33

by David Bowman | Apr 24, 2023 | Daily D | 0 comments

2 Kings 6:33 While Elisha was still saying this, the messenger arrived. And the king said, “All this misery is from the Lord! Why should I wait for the Lord any longer?” (NLT)

“Good things come to those who wait,” the old proverbs says. As one who has been waiting for a very long time for the local football team to play well enough to win another Super Bowl, I am less and less inclined to apply this saying to this delay.

I wonder how many good things from God’s hand we have missed because we were unwilling to wait on him. Waiting is a discipline of obedience. Patience is a calming, peace-inducing virtue. One trip to the gym does not strengthen us. Regularly repeated visits will. When God says, “Wait,” pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable.

This is not an invitation to sloth. This is an expectation of deliberate trust. It is a posture of continuing confidence in what God has said. It is a deliberate and focused ease knowing God keeps his promises, empowers us to carry out his instructions, and brings about his purposes in his perfect timing.

What are you waiting for from God? Lean into the coming adventure with a smile of certainty.

—

I will wait when God says, “Wait.”

—

Our Father, you are worth waiting for. Your timing is perfect. Your provision matches your guidance. You are withholding nothing I need for the moment I am in. I will get good at waiting. Amen.

Daily D – Isaiah 26:3-4

Isaiah 26:3, 4
You will keep the mind that is dependent on you
in perfect peace,
for it is trusting in you.
Trust in the Lord forever,
because in the LORD, the LORD himself, is an everlasting rock!

Daily D – Psalm 113

Psalm 113
Hallelujah!
Give praise, servants of the LORD;
praise the name of the LORD.
Let the name of the LORD be blessed
both now and forever.
From the rising of the sun to its setting,
let the name of the LORD be praised.

The LORD is exalted above all the nations,
his glory above the heavens.
Who is like the LORD our God —
the one enthroned on high,
who stoops down to look
on the heavens and the earth?
He raises the poor from the dust
and lifts the needy from the trash heap
in order to seat them with nobles —
with the nobles of his people.
He gives the childless woman a household,
making her the joyful mother of children.
Hallelujah!

Daily D – Psalm 112:4-9

Psalm 112:4-9
Light shines in the darkness for the upright.
He is gracious, compassionate, and righteous.
Good will come to the one who lends generously
and conducts his business fairly.
He will never be shaken.
The righteous one will be remembered forever.
He will not fear bad news;
his heart is confident, trusting in the LORD.
His heart is assured; he will not fear.
In the end he will look in triumph on his foes.
He distributes freely to the poor;
his righteousness endures forever.
His horn will be exalted in honor.
