Lamentations 3:25-26 (NIV)
The Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him, to the one who seeks Him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.
January is a good time of the year for us to fast and pray and sit before the Lord in quiet meditation as we seek for His guidance and direction for a new year. And seeking God involves a waiting for God. He waits for us to wait for him (Isaiah 30:18 KJV). It results in blessing (Proverbs 8:34 NIV) and blessings for everyone without exception who wait for Him (Isaiah 30:18 NIV). Don’t rush back into a preoccupied, agitated lifestyle as you begin 2022. Don’t pick up your phone as your feet hit the floor every morning. Reach for your Bible. Sit in your prayer chair and turn your heart and mind toward the Lord. Give Him your first and best hour of the morning. Wait for Him to come to you. He will come and He will bring blessings: wisdom for the day, an ear tuned to His voice above the day’s noise, a confident heart, faith for the challenges, and compassion for the wounded. Wait on Him.
