Wait on the Lord – Shilpa Dhinakaran

“Wait for the LORD, and He will avenge you.”  (Proverbs 20:22)
Dear friend, I wish you a blessed and happy new year 2022. God’s promise for today is from Proverbs 20:22, “Wait for the LORD, and He will avenge you.” You might be saying, “Sister, I have been waiting on the Lord for so long but nothing seems to be changing in my life. This new year I hope it will change.” Yes, the Lord says that He will deliver you.  Even if you think that the relationship is over and you are not going to get along with your spouse, thinking that the problem is not yet over, if God says, ‘It is not over’, it will surely not be over.

The Lord says, ‘He is going to bring deliverance today.’ According to Ecclesiastes 3:11, “He has made everything beautiful in its time.” The only thing you need to do is to be still and wait for the Lord. Yes, it might be hard and you might not know how long it is going to take; but at the right time, the Lord will do it beautifully. This has happened in my uncle’s family too. They had a court case filed against them for nearly 12 years.
People asked him to give up and said that it is never going to end. But almost after 12 or 13 years, the Lord turned it for them in their favor. In the same way, the Lord is going to turn everything in your favor. Just believe the Lord and thank Him for this promise. Even in the Bible we see how Abraham waited on the Lord. He communed with God and was God’s friend. But when he took the decision on his own it went wrong. Rather, when he waited on God, His promise certainly came true. Even so, you too keep waiting on the Lord and His promises will come true in your life.
Prayer:
Loving Father,

Thank You for this precious promise Lord. Master, thank You for commanding a turnaround in my situation. Thank You for You are the Faithful One and I can count on You. Thank You for delivering me from all my problems. I give You all praise and honor.

In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.
