Nobody likes to wait for anything, including waiting on God. It just doesn&#8217;t sit well with how we like things to be.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">But wisdom and experience will teach us that waiting on God is exactly what we need to do. Doing anything other will set us up for a tough situation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">God&#8217;s word is loaded with verses telling us to wait on God, including those telling us to wait <strong>patiently<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">And that&#8217;s the hard part for most of us, the patience aspect of it. But, you see, that&#8217;s where the real test starts right there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">When something takes a while to play out, a lot of us tend to get antsy. We can&#8217;t sit still long enough to let God put all of the pieces in place and orchestrate His plans. So, we start taking things into our own hands and making choices and decisions on our own.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">This shows how feeble our faith in Him can be at times. Is that meant to be an insult? Not at all. It&#8217;s just a piece of truth that we all need to recognize in ourselves if we are to grow and mature in our faith as a believer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">That all starts to come about when we understand that God moves in different ways, and at different speeds, during different seasons in our lives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Ecclesiastes 3:1 (NKJV) 3 To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">We encourage you today to wait on God. Wait patiently for Him to guide your steps. And when He <em>does <\/em>move, we need to make sure we&#8217;re ready to follow His leading. And watch His awesome plans unfold right before our eyes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Pastor Curt &amp; Pastor Ellie<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\">Seven Seas Ministries<br \/>\nP.O.
