To wait on God means you don't act without knowing His will. It means you don't want to act until you know His will. And when this is true, you have a guarantee of God's goodness in your life because you want the highest good: God's will for you. Whether for the future or today, if you're waiting for God, He will be good to you.
If you're waiting for God's future direction, where to move, what job to take, who to marry, you can know that God "knows the plans He has for you," according to Jeremiah 29:11. "Plans for good and not evil, to give you a FUTURE and a HOPE." Because you're only seeking to do His will, you have a guarantee that He will reveal His will. That He wants to do this more than you do. He knows the plans he has for your future job or home or spouse. Good plans and not evils plans. Plans to give you the very future that you are seeking: to be in the center of God's will. But this doesn't just apply to your distant future. It applies today, when you wait on Him every step of your day. If your soul seeks Him, meaning you want Him to be with you every step of your day, He will be good to you when you wait for His Spirit to lead you.
There are going to be points in your day where you can wait on the Lord's leadership. You can seek His Spirit's guidance and wait before you speak or act. Certain conversations, interactions, or directions you can take have pauses in them. Time lapses where you can pray and seek the Lord. Take these pauses as opportunities to wait on the LORD, to let your soul seek Him. Go to the bathroom at your job, or in your home, and pray.
- Wait on the Lord's Spirit to lead you before every step today.
- If you do this, you will have a guarantee of God's goodness.
