A
delay is not a denial! There is something
in the essence of the word and an answer of “wait” that assures us that our
petition has been heard, and an affirmative solution is on its way, but after
just a little while. If God has answered
your prayers with “wait”, then be encouraged to do just that. Wait doesn’t mean “no”, it just means at a
set, appointed time he will perform on your behalf. Don’t fret, don’t doubt, don’t rush, just
wait, quietly and patiently.
And the Lord appointed a set time, saying, To morrow the Lord shall do this
thing in the land. Exodus 9:5
I wait for the Lord,
my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope. My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the
morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Psalm 130:5-6
For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it
shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely
come, it will not tarry. Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the
just shall live by his faith. Habakkuk 2:3-4
The Lord is good unto them that wait
for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the
salvation of the Lord. Lamentation
3:25-26
Cast not away therefore your
confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need of patience, that, after ye
have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise. For yet a little while, and he that shall
come will come, and will not tarry. Now
the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no
pleasure in him. Hebrews 10:35-38
