Joyce Meyer Ministries teaches us that we just have to have hope. The believer’s number one job is to believe. That’s why we’re called believers. Stay positive, expect, be full of hope and happy anticipation. Do you agree with me that a lot of people are trying to have faith and they don’t even have hope? How can you say you’re believing God if you’re all depressed and down in the dumps? “Well, I’m just believing God. I’m so worried, I’m just sick, but I’m believing God.” Go to Psalm 27:13. What are you believing? What are you expecting? Psalm 27:13: [what, what would have become of me] had I not believed that I would see the Lord’s goodness in the land of the living! verse 14: wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes, wait for and hope for and expect the Lord. How many of you see that proper waiting on God is waiting with a heart full of hope? It’s waiting with a heart of expectancy.
It’s not waiting with some gloomy attitude. Go to Isaiah 40. A very familiar scripture. Isaiah 40:31. But they who wait upon the Lord shall change. Uh-oh. Uh-oh. Let’s read it in the amplified: but they who wait for the Lord who expect God, look for God, who hope in God: shall change and renew their strength. Man, that gets me excited! They who wait upon the Lord with a hopeful, expectant attitude, believing God that something is going to change, they shall change. Isaiah 40:31: and renew their strength and power; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
Joyce Meyer wants you to remember, the next time somebody says to you: what are you doing?, don’t say: I’m just waiting on God. Say: I’m waiting on God! I’m waiting on God and I’m so excited to see what God does! God is good. He has a good plan for my life. I can’t even imagine all the good things that God has prepared in my future. There is no way I would give up! I’m not about to give up. If I gave up, I’d miss all those good things that god has for me.
