Isaiah 30-32
*Click here to read this passage:
“Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to
you; He rises to show you compassion.
For the Lord is a God of justice.
Blessed are all who wait for Him!” (30:18)
As I’ve said before as I read the Bible I
seek for revelations of God’s character – I feel like this verse shows a lot
about who God is. He longs to be
gracious to me. He rises to show
me compassion. And don’t forget - He
is a God of justice, and that is a good thing! If I wait for Him I will be blessed.
Sometimes in my prayer life when I’m asking
for the Lord’s intervention, I have faith that He can do anything. But knowing that He doesn’t always
answer my prayers in the way I hope, sometimes I also doubt or forget this part
of God’s character – that He longs to be gracious and to show compassion.
“Blessed are all who wait for Him!” God has really been speaking to me
lately about still praising Him in the waiting. I trust Him and I praise Him on the good days, but on bad
days I get frustrated thinking, why is this happening and why isn’t God
helping? Then God whispers to my
heart, “Remember Emily, blessed are all who wait for me.”
And another verse from chapter 30 that
has been a favorite: “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears
will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.” (30:21)
He always goes before us and has a
purpose and path laid out for us, but sometimes the path gets a little foggy so
we have to listen for His voice.
He will be behind us telling us where to go.
God
thank you for your voice for me today.
Thank you for your guidance and your reminder that You love to be
gracious and compassionate … I just have to trust You in the waiting.
