The waiting room
Lead Image: unsplashAll hopes were lost, all expectations lost, no confidence or hope anywhere, it could have been that God is not ready to grant her request, she thought. Pressure from her husband's families, her husband is not helping the situation either, everyone thinks the fault is from her. Laura has gone to several hospitals and medical centres, the doctors had informed her that nothing is wrong with her medically. She had no choice than to turn to God for a child. For the past 7 years, she had run Helter skelter for medical solutions and for the next three years, she had looked up to God waiting for a child.
What does the waiting room really implies? This is just a short illustration of how the waiting room really looks like. The waiting room is a place of waiting. In a situation or a condition, expectations and requests from someone.
As a child looks up to his father or mother for something, so do we depend on whatever we believe in. But the waiting room for God has some peculiarities. The waiting room is the period between God's promises and man's demand or request. The waiting room of God comes with lots of patience and courage. You have been waiting on God to answer your prayers, looking up to Him for something. It's one thing to request something from God and it takes something else to wait for you to wait for His answers. The waiting room is a place of patience and humility, a place of anticipation, waiting for God's intervention or request.
Have you been waiting on God? Have you really been in the waiting room before? Are you really in the waiting room now?
"Wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord"
Waiting on God means to hope, trust and be patient. It requires faith, patience, and endurance.
Discouragement sets in when you think you have waited enough and it seems God is not answering your prayers. When these qualities are not attached, disappointment and failure are bound to happen. To be hopeful means to build your whole trust in Him. It means no matter how long it takes or no matter what come your way, you will have your absolute trust in him.
God's time is the best, and He knows the right time for everything "The way that seemeth right to man brings destruction" Being patient requires a lot because it has to do with a lot of pressure, demands, circumstances and requirements. It might be pressure on money, child, job, illness, it looks as if God's is not aware but He is.
There is always an expectation on something you have been waiting for God's intervention, it looks as if the doors of heaven has been shut. You don't have to give up, just trust Him, tarry in the waiting room and he will do in the best time.
Thank you for taking your time to read this.♥️♥️♥️
My earnest advice and encouragement I used to give to those of the women who always become desperate of a child, God is still working wonders, God hears your cry, He sees your tears and He also feels your pains. He will come to your rescue in due season, there's no need of you killing yourself we a lot of thought. If God could visit Hannah and surprised her with a son called Samuel in the waiting room, it therefore means God has not abandon nor forsaken you, He is still thinking of us.. so don't mind waiting in the waiting room..
