I have Isaiah 30:18 highlighted in pink in my Bible and this morning it leaped out at me especially the first part. “So the Lord must wait for you to come to Him..” It reminded me that God is always present but that He is waiting for me to make the move. It isn’t HE that has grown distant but me if I don’t feel Him. The second part of the verse is what I long for from my Heavenly Father “so He can show you His love and compassion.”
What a convicting and humbling reminder that I am in charge of my relationship with God, He wants a close connection more than I can imagine and He is ALWAYS there, He is just waiting for me to come. What have I let get in the way?
God, forgive me for making you wait, I come to you now with my praise and thanksgiving for being a God of love and compassion. You have showered me with blessings to many to name. Thank you for your patience with me, your child.
Has anyone else kept God waiting lately? He has a lot of love and compassion just waiting for you.
