“Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be gracious to you; And therefore He will
be exalted, that He may have mercy on you. For the Lord is a God of
justice; Blessed are all those
who wait for Him.” – Isaiah 30:18
There lived a young
girl who accepted Christ as her savior during her young age. She had put her
trust upon God and began to grow in Him. Days passed and as her parents decided
to find a suitable life partner for her, she preferred to marry a person who was
born again. So, she decided to wait for God’s time. Many other proposals came
from those who never accepted Christ. But she rejected all the proposals. Even
few from her close relatives wanted to marry her but she had never accepted it.
As she crossed 30
years of age, many mocked at her and made fun of her. But then she stood firm
in her faith. God honored her faith and brought a suitable groom for her. She
got married when she was 32 and today she was happily living with her husband
and God has blessed her with two kids. As she had kept her trust upon God and
as she had wait for Him, God built her family.
“And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the
commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well advanced in years." - Luke 1:6,7
Zacharias and Elizabeth lived righteously before God but they had
no child. Years passed but they had not received any answers to their prayers.
They continued the righteous life by having faith upon God and lived a
blameless life before God. As they had wait for God, they were not put to
shame.
One day God’s angel came and met Zacharias as he was serving as
priest before God and said, “… Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your
wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.” – Luke 1:13
Elizabeth went
through reproach. God changed her life’s situation and gave her a son. She
became the mother of John, the Baptist. God lifted her head.
He will do the same
to you. Today you might be going through reproach and shame. God will surely
remove all your sorrows and pain as you wait for Him. He will do wonders in
your life at His time.
You might be waiting
long to have a child. You might be waiting for marriage. You might be expecting
certain blessings in your life. Do not get discouraged. Just wait for God. You
are going to experience wonders says God to you.
