• What does it mean to wait on God?
• It is an attitude of being on the alert
to the moving of the Holy Spirit at all
time. It ought to be the life style of
Christian today.
As we are waiting on God, how does
God speak to us?

others

Why God wants us to wait?
• To get us in step with Him, sifting our motives (Heb
4:12)
• To build up our faith (Ps 27:14)
• To prepare us for the challenge to come (Ps 32:8)
• God desires our company and dependence on Him
(Gen 2:18)
How to wait on the Lord?
• Actively, not passively (Ps 27:14)
• Expectantly (Ps 27:13)
• Patiently (Ps 37:7; 62:1)
• Courageously (Ps 130:5)
The consequences of not waiting on
God
• We get out of God’s will
• We delay God’s planned blessing for us
• We bring to ourselves pains and heartache

• We bring confusion to our life

Two things we don’t need to wait
