Glimpse Inside the Devotional

Day 6

Lifted Above the Confusion

Steering my thoughts upward and into heavenly aspirations, instead of the mass confusion twirling in every conceivable direction of my brain. The perfect ways of God compel me to trust the purity of His established and authenticated word. His wisdom and instruction sufficiently prepare me to accomplish the purpose He lifted me to fulfill for His glory.

The Heart of This Book

For many people, waiting looks like sitting idly, expecting something to happen. Yet true waiting is never passive. To wait, hope, look, and expect requires action, patience, humility, and trust. When we plant humility in our hearts and remain attentive to the voice of God, we begin to recognize His blessings and divine favor moving with us through every adventure, disappointment, and expectation of life. There, in obedience, we experience the stillness of trusting Him—listening for His whispers and resting in His faithfulness.

Depending on our situation, we discover that:

Peace works in our favor when we when are waiting.
There are difficult situations that require us to trust in God with extraordinary faith.
The blessings we receive when patiently wait for He promises are overwhelming.

For me, time often presses against the desires of my heart and teaches me the discipline of waiting. My journey with the Lord reveal how easily I attach my expectations to people, circumstances, or outcomes rather than to God Himself. Since there is no whining while waiting, I realize that the weight of His Word reveals the clarity and peace to restore what was broken while I was waiting and crowns me with His goodness—His love, mercy, and grace.

Before the First Page

It’s incredible how God can whisper into your spirit, quietly stir your heart, and awaken you toward an assignment long before you fully understand what He is doing. For me, that quiet prompting became a divine assignment that deepened my faith, strengthened my spiritual maturity, and equipped me to encourage others through His Word—all for the glory of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

The seed for Waiting for God in the Son was planted one June summer night while I was teaching a women’s Bible study. I had placed devotional cards I created for the lesson on the table for the women to choose from. As I watched, I heard a daughter in Christ say she

needed every one of them. In that moment, I knew the Holy Spirit was revealing the assignment and prompting me to write this devotional book and journal.

I began immediately, and what started as obedience soon became a refining work as God inspired me, stretched me, and tested me each step of the way. Eventually, through my perceived hardship of waiting, I gradually understood that I am not merely waiting for an answer, a change, or a breakthrough—I am experiencing God shaping and preparing me to fulfill His purpose.

Therefore, as I wait, I am learning to persevere faithfully—standing with the Son, strengthened by courage, confidence, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

What message do you want people to take away from this book?

Having the Son of God in our lives gives us a revelation into our lives we could not possibly conceive. It's reassuring, as He gives us what no other can--knowledge and understanding of our loving heavenly Father. As I learned throughout life, waiting can be hard. However, it is profitable and calming when we see it through the lens of our Lord. Therefore, prepare to uncover weaknesses, degrees of difficulty and faults when you find yourself waiting and allow Scripture to release the spoken word of God that will teach you how to wait with endurance, patience, and perseverance, reflecting the love, mercy, and forgiveness of Jesus Christ.

Why is this message important for those who read "Waiting for God in the Son" today?

Instant gratification is the wave of the day. Overloaded with information and pressure to act now creates confusion, anxiety, and stress. When we are not careful, our mistakes become poor, unadvised, and unwise decisions.

Purposely pausing to hear from God and trusting in His answer is our best and most reliable response. His faithfulness is established in Heaven. It surrounds Him with every promise spoken in His word. When we honor His Word with our obedience and remain fully convince that what He promised He will do and is capable of doing, we simply waiting knowing He will deliver.
