You waited for me!!! [ March 30, 2024 ]

Daily Word 🇬🇭

You waited for me!!!
Isaiah 43:1-2
…. I have called you by name you are mine! When you pass through the water it shall not overflow…

The phrase “You waited for me” paints the picture of a loving God, who created mankind, gave us everything we need to live comfortably on earth including the bible which shows us how much He has sacrificed to give us Salvation. The the bible tells how to get saved it does not compel us to accept the gift of salvation.

God sits to watch us choose our own ways, lifestyles, religion etc. We may hit our head against the wall several times. He just sits and waits for us to come running to Him when all other options fail.

In the passage above, He reminds us that He created and redeem us. He knows each of us by name. You are mine and no matter what comes your way, I will not allow it to destroy you.

Scripture also says in Psalm 91:7 that

A thousand shall fall by thy side and ten thousand at thy right hand but nothing can harm you.. ( paraphrased)

Meaning, you may face so many challenges but I will not allow it to destroy you once you put your trust in me.

Revelations 3:20
Behold I stand at the door and knock. If any man hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in…… ( paraphrased)

This verse from the new testament, gives a perfect picture of how God stands at the door our hearts prompting us in several ways ( I stand and knock…) to tell us to accept the gift of salvation.

He may prompt us through Christian song ministrations and movies, preaching of the word etc that it is better to accept the gift of salvation.

But until you decide through your own free will to surrender your life to Him, He keeps waiting. This truth is presented in the wonderful song below.
God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Accept the gift of salvation if you have not done so already.

2. Read Romans 10:9-10 and ask for further directions from a church near you.

Song for meditation

Let this song be your confession and prayer

You, you waited for me
Just for me
You, you waited for me
Just for me

You called out my name
Knew my past, covered me
This amazing grace
You’ve shown patiently
You’ve shown patiently

You waited for me….
Amen
