Wait on the Lord – Sis. Stella Dhinakaran

“Wait on the LORD, and keep His way, and He shall exalt you to inherit the land.” (Psalm 37:34)
Dear friend, I greet you in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ! Today, God has a beautiful promise for you from Psalm 37:34, “Wait on the LORD, and keep His way, and He shall exalt you to inherit the land.“ This is a promise given by the Lord Almighty to you. He says that He will exalt you to inherit the land. But how can you inherit this blessing?  If you read Psalm 37:9 it says, “For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.” It is those who wait on the Lord that can inherit the earth.

If you read Joshua 24:8 it says, “Joshua said to all the people, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Long ago your ancestors, including Terah the father of Abraham and Nahor, lived beyond the Euphrates River and worshiped other gods.”” Abraham’s father Terah and his relatives who were with him were following other gods. Also we read in Genesis 17, that God spoke to Abraham and he loved the Lord so he decided to follow Him all the time wholeheartedly. Because God spoke to him, Abraham loved God and chose to serve Him. In Genesis 17:8 we read God said to Abraham, “The whole land of Canaan, where you now reside as a foreigner, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you; and I will be their God.”

God promised Abraham and his descendants the entire land of Canaan. This is a promise made by God Himself. We read in Hebrews 11:9, “By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise.” Just as it is written the Lord will never go back on His promise. So when you read the Word of God, it is God speaking to you so claim the promises you come across. Pray then and there and you will get it immediately. According to Galatians 3:9, “So those who rely on faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.” God will bless you according to Rev 21:7, “Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.” He will bless you with all that He gave Abraham. Wait on the Lord and put your hope on Him to claim these blessings.
Prayer:
Loving Father,

You know my heart. I bring all my needs to You and give them in Your hand. Meet my needs according to Your riches in glory. Bless me with faith like Abraham and help me to wait on You and inherit all the blessings of Abraham.

In Jesus’ precious name, I pray. Amen.
