Day 6 - How God Uses Waiting - Part 2

Another way that God uses waiting is to teach us to become dependent on Him.  This is similar to intimacy, but it goes a step further, to not just know Him deeply, but to trust Him even more so.  It is a place where we let go of what we are holding on to, and instead lean into Him.  God wants us to be fully dependent on him, because that is when He is most glorified.  It is His accomplishments, His work, His efforts that cause us to reach our goals.  We can then see clearly how trusting in the Lord is the safest place for our dreams because He alone can make them come true.  Part of being dependent on God is trusting His plan for the outcome, and believing that God will give us what is best for us.  Another part is trusting that the time we are waiting is also for our good - it is a process by which we learn what we are made of, which is the third part of how God uses waiting.
