What are You Waiting On - Believe!

What are we waiting on? So often as Christians we are waiting for something. Waiting for breakthrough, waiting for an experience, waiting for a feeling or a touch. Now there are times when we are waiting before God for direction, but we should never be waiting to believe. Choose it, just choose to believe as an act of pure will. And as you wait for direction do so in an excited expectation that He will indeed show you.



There will be times in our Christian walk where God is so real and so present in the moment that it is undeniable. The presence of God, the tangible presence is awesome, and in those moments faith is strong and alive. But what do you do when you don't have a moment and you don't feel the presence? What do you do when you go through a prolonged season of dryness where it seems God is a 1000 miles away? What do we do with our faith then? You do the only thing you can, you choose to believe anyway. 


At times we may be waiting on God's direction for life but we should never be waiting to believe. Believe as an act of the will, a deliberate on purpose action. Choosing to believe is about making a choice fully cognizant of what I'm doing. Fully aware, fully understanding exactly what I'm doing, I'm choosing to believe in God and His provision regardless of how things look or how they feel. It's about being fully awake, it's about being fully aware, it's about making a determined choice to believe God regardless of circumstances.


You see the circumstances we face often will not feel good, so we can't be waiting for a feeling to trigger faith. The amazing feelings we have in those incredible moments of the presence of God are a strong motivation to believe. But when you're in bad circumstances and those circumstances may make you afraid, choosing to believe is your only option.


So what are we waiting on? Why does our will sit idle? When will we ever rest, when will we ever be at peace? I can tell you when, it is when we believe as an act of our will. We are never going to be at rest, never going to be at peace until we simply choose to believe as a deliberate act of our will. 


Stop waiting until you understand it, and just choose to believe. Stop trying to understand why Jesus loves you and just believe that He does. Stop trying to figure out how He is going to provide, choose to believe that He already has. Stop trying to figure out what you're calling is and choose to believe when you're ready He will show you. Stop trying to figure out what He is doing and trust that His working in your behalf will always be good.


Choose to believe, choose to trust, choose to follow as a deliberate act of you will, for that is where the peace and the joy and the power of the walk of faith in Christ will be found.

Stop waiting and start choosing to believe!
