“Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.”
— Isaiah 64:4
There’s no god like our God! Since the world began, no one has ever heard of (and no one has ever seen) a God like ours, who works for those who wait for him!
Stephanie’s parents had separated, but not yet divorced. They were trying to work out their problems, but Stephanie feared that things were going from bad to worse. She helped out at home with her little sister and cleaning the apartment, and she prayed every night for her parents to be reunited. The eleven months she waited — praying every night and expecting God to work a miracle — were the longest months of her life. Yet she continued to look forward to her family being restored. At the end of eleven long months, when her parents were back together, did Stephanie think that waiting on God had been worth it? You bet!
Believers wait and expect God to go to work for them, to make things happen that only God can make happen. Whatever you’re facing, pray and wait for God to act. He won’t let you down.
