The Reward Is Worth The Wait

For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him. Isaiah 64:4 (KJV)

Multiple verses in Isaiah show that there is no one like God, and no one can do what He does.

I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour. Isaiah 43:11 (KJV)

Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. Isaiah 44:6 (KJV)

I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else. Isaiah 45:5-6 (KJV)

Those who wait for God are given access to see the great things that only God does. Note that this is for those who wait for Him. And we’ll see that the reward is well worth the wait. Keep in mind that the longer the wait, the greater the reward. God rewards those who wait for Him; those who wait in faith, hope, confidence, and trust. He rewards those who wait for Him with a good attitude.

The Apostle Paul quotes Isaiah in I Corinthians, Chapter 2.

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. I Corinthians 2:9-12 (KJV)

As we wait for God and love Him, God reveals to us what He has for us so that we might know the things that God has freely given to us. It encourages us to keep waiting. He lets us know that He has only good for us. That which God reveals to our spirits in His Word and by Holy Spirit will manifest. When it does, we will see that the reward was definitely worth the wait. Keep the faith and do not give up.

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11:6 (KJV)
