Wait for God to Intervene


"Since ancient times no one has heard or perceived, no eye has seen any God besides You, who intervenes for those who wait for Him." - Isaiah 64:4 NET

Perhaps you have heard me talk about my almost-new dishwasher breaking down, and how it took the better part of a year to get the matter resolved. After a dozen service visits, and a host of parts on the machine being replaced, it still wasn't working properly. I eventually had to file a formal complaint against the manufacturer with my state's Attorney General's office, and appeal to them for help.

During those weeks when my husband, Joe, and I were waiting to hear the results of our complaint, there were times when we discussed buying a new dishwasher on our own. We had been praying the whole time, but it just didn't look like the Lord was going to intervene on our behalf in the matter. One morning, though, God brought to my remembrance Isaiah 64:4 (NET), which says that He "intervenes for those who wait for Him." And I sensed the Lord speaking to my heart, "Wait - I have something better for you."

It was around this time that I heard a godly man say, "God does not want to keep good things from us. Rather, He keeps us from settling for second best." I decided to keep praying and waiting, trusting that God was indeed going to intervene on our behalf.

Eventually, the Lord provided us with a brand-new dishwasher, with every option we could ever want, at absolutely no cost to us. Not only that, but it was the first dishwasher that Joe didn't have to install himself, because the manufacturer delivered it with a "white glove" service and installation. And Joe and I were so thankful that we waited on God for His best.

Scripture instructs us to "Imitate those who through faith AND patience inherit the promises." (Hebrews 6:12 NKJV) Today, I encourage you to exercise your patience along with your faith, and watch the Lord do what only He can do!

Prayer: Lord, when I have a need, or a decision to make, help me to turn to You first for wisdom, discernment, and guidance. Teach me how to exercise patience so that I will not miss out on Your absolute best. If I need to do some research for my situation, show me where to look, and who to consult. Guard me from confusion and hastiness, and don't allow me to be misled in any way. Thank You that as I follow Your lead, I will receive all the blessings, breakthroughs, and opportunities that You have in store for me!
