Waiting is a valuable asset for the single Christian. Waiting on God and His perfect timing produces a patience we did not know we possess. It cleanses the mind of fleshy desires and draws us closer in our relationship with Him. To sum it up, it causes us to be submitted the more to God.
I can personally attest to the blessing of waiting on the Lord in my singleness. Everytime I think about who I could have ended up with, I can't do anything but thank God. God knows what is best as He knows the ending from the beginning. He knows the danger, damage and destruction to our soul when we get ahead of Him and choose that person who was not ordained by Him for us.
Isaiah 40:31 reads- But they that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
There are benefits in waiting on the Lord:
- Your strength is renewed
- That renewed strength gives you strength to mount up
- In that strength you can continue to run this race focused and unwearied
- In that strength you can continue to walk in faith and confidence and not faint
Continue to wait on the Lord in your singleness remaining steadfast, unmoveable and always abouding in His work.
