The Young Lady in Waiting (Part 3)

Hello Readers,

Happy Mid-Week (Wednesday), I believe your week is going well. Mine has been good so far, just been busy lately now that I am taking a course online but God has been faithful. I don't really know about your side, but it has been so hot here and it will continue for the rest of the week. Well, I am grateful to God (not complaining) for every season :-)

I am sure you have been blessed through the 1st & 2nd part of the post (The Young Lady in Waiting Part 1 and Part 2). By God's grace I will be writing the concluding part today!!!! I'm thankful to God for the strength and the privilege to write and minister to you all through these posts. As you read, I pray that the Holy Spirit will guide and minister to you as read in Jesus name (Amen).

  • During the waiting period, there will be a lot of temptations and given-up situations but don't give up 
  • Wait patiently for the Lord and he will answer you at his (God's) appointed time for you. Psalm 40: 1 ; KJV  I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry. 2 Peter 3:8-9; NIV  But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
  • Don't believe any of the devil's lies but depend on God's word for conviction. Romans 12:2; NIV Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
  • Don't compromise your Godly standard with the world standard. 2 Corinthians 6:14-17; KJV Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
  • Remember that God surely desire the best for you. Jeremiah 29:11; AMP  For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome
  • Keep your body pure i.e. no sex before marriage (Yes, I really meant it). Just like the way you can't eat a fruit unripe, so don't have sex before marriage. Romans 12:1. KJV I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Hebrews 13:4; NIV Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral
  • Don't allow fear and insecurity to steal/take away your joy. Insecurity results into worry, lies and frustration Matthew 6: 34; KJV Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Fear brings torments 1 John 4:18; KJV There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
  • Your waiting period is when God is preparing you for the greater works ahead & he (God) wants you to be perfect for your future "Mr. Right"  for females or "Miss Right" for males. Psalm 37:3-7; NIV Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes.
  • Finally, your circumstances; your past or even geographical location will not disturb/hinder what has God purposed for you.
Remember that God has the best in plan for you and he will not withhold any good thing from you (Psalm 84:11). God will hear your cry and he will remember you. It is well with you in Jesus name (Amen)

Enjoy the rest of your week!
Stay Blessed

  1. What a great piece this is! More grace to you. Ladies in the waiting ought to learn to enjoy their single days rather than spend it worrying to be attached. One, worrying does not give God's best to anyone so why worry when it doesn't change anything? Two, replace worry with working on yourself and your relationship with God. You will attract your like/kind and if you do not want a kind of person, do not be that kind. The blogger has said so much...just thought to add that. God bless Ini's heart.
