At our Bible study last night, we studied about Moses in Exodus (and Acts 7). We learned that he had to wait for 40 years between the time he became a fugitive and the burning bush moment. What do we do when we desperately need God's clear direction but God seems silent? My daughter, Alyssa, mentioned one of her favorite songs, "While I'm waiting." "Active waiting" is what we strive for. I hope you will be encouraged by this song :).
Note: Please turn off my music playlist at the bottom of this page before starting the videos.
"Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." Psalm 27:14
"I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His Word I put my hope." Psalm 130:5
"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!" Isaiah 30:18
Oswald Chambers said, "The Strain of Waiting On God." How true. So much growth is happening as we sit at His feet waiting, listening and praying.. Thank you for sharing, Virginia
Isaiah 40:31 ...but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
If my heart and my head can connect this... beautiful faith!
We're Christ-centered, Bible-based, mission-minded, family-bonding, character-building, & life-long learning homeschoolers. We cherish our togetherness; we enjoy learning and growing together as the Lord leads us.
"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me." (Galatians 2:20) Living purposefully for God... surrending all to Jesus and faithfully following Him with no compromise... radically obeying Him... living by the Book (Bible)...walking by faith...seeking God's will...resting in God's love, grace, and mercy...serving the King of kings! Soli Deo Gloria!

"It is impossible for that man to despair who remembers that his Helper is omnipotent." ~Jeremy Taylor
"It is not the ship in the water but the water in the ship that sinks it. So it is not the Christian in the world but the world in the Christian that constitutes the danger. Anything that dims my vision of Christ, or takes away my taste for Bible study, or cramps my prayer life, or makes Christian work difficult, is wrong for me, and I must, as a Christian, turn away from it." ~J. Wilbur Chapman
"It is unjust to share the Gospel of Jesus repeatedly to people who have already heard when there are those who have not heard the Gospel of Jesus even once." ~Eric (my husband)

Waiting can be so hard, but it is worth it when we are obedient to God's leading. Great song.

Yes... waiting.

Really love this song.
Beautiful. I don't like to wait, but I think worshipping while waiting is the thing to do. Thank you for this encouraging post.
Blessings,
Charlotte
