Good Morning,
As we expectantly, patiently and actively wait during our
transitioning, we must keep our mind stayed on the fact that this is
the year of completion and ending of issues. There will be certain 'issues' that you will never see again, as you come into your
'promised' land. We talked about waiting expectantly, now let's discuss 'quietly waiting.' Lamentations
3:25-26; "The Lord is good to them that wait for Him. It is good that a
man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation
[deliverance; victory; aid; prosperity; health; help; welfare and something saved] of the Lord." Quietly means to be at a place of rest; to cease from toiling; it means to become tranquil or to be at peace within; to be free from disturbance or tumult on the inside; refraining from busyness.

This waiting quietly means for us to quit trying to 'make it happen' on your own ability and allow God to work on your behalf. It is explained simply in Hebrews 4:9-11; "So there is a special rest still waiting for the people of God. For all who have entered into God's rest have rested from 'their own labors', just as God did after creating the world. So let us do our best to enter that rest…." The labor we should do is to be diligent in the Word, to hear and do the Word.
I know that you are thinking, how do I accomplish this? If you will read further, our answer is there. "This
High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for He faced all of the
same testings we do, yet He did not sin. So let us come boldly to the
throne of grace. There we will receive His mercy, and we will find
grace to help us when we need it most." (Hebrews 4:15-16)
His ability that covers our inability, His grace is there to help us to
wait quietly, expectantly and patiently for our promises. Psalm
25:5; "Guide me in Your truth and faithfulness and teach me, for you
are the God of my salvation, for You [You only and altogether] do I
wait expectantly, all the day long. Now we are not the only one waiting expectantly, also God is waiting on us. Listen to this; Isaiah 30:18; And therefore the Lord [earnestly] waits (expecting, looking and longing
) to be gracious to you [to bend in kindness]; and therefore He lifts
Himself up, that He may have mercy on you and show loving-kindness to
you. For the Lord is a God of justice. Did you hear that? God is waiting, expecting, looking and longing to be good to us and
show us His goodness. I say, here I am Daddy God!! Let's finish the rest of the verse…."Blessed, (happy, fortunate, to be envied) are all those who earnestly wait for Him, who expect and look and long for Him. (for His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His joy and His matchless, unbroken companionship) I
wait expecting, looking and longing for God, and I will have and enjoy
His victory, favor, His love and peace and stay in His matchless,
unbroken companionship, how about you?
