ARTICLE: The Discipline of Waiting on God

Waiting on God is one of the hardest disciplines in the Christian walk. In a world driven by speed and instant gratification, waiting feels uncomfortable and countercultural.

Yet Scripture repeatedly emphasizes waiting. Isaiah 40:31 promises renewed strength to those who wait on the Lord.

Waiting refines character. It exposes impatience, pride, and self-reliance.

God uses waiting seasons to prepare believers for future responsibility.

Waiting does not mean inactivity. It means obedience without immediate results.

Many biblical figures waited—Abraham, Joseph, David.

Those who wait grow spiritually stronger, wiser, and more dependent on God.

Waiting builds trust and deepens intimacy.
