"When it happens, everyone will say, He is our God! We have put

"I believe Thee whole heartedly
I believe Thee Lord
I believe Thee whole heartedly
I believe Thee Lord"- CCC Hymn 540 stanza 1
Prophet Isaiah is saying what will happen in the latter days
submitted clearly that at the end time, those that have waited
upon the Lord faithfully will see that their waiting and patience is
not in vain as God will come to rescue them.
The text is emphasizing that God will never disappoint those
who will wait on Him sincerely and trust in Him. That is, when
hard time comes, they still remain resolute by not denying their
faith just like Job. When prayers seem to be unanswered, they
will still remain a regular worshipper at Shiloh just like Hannah.
When promises seem to be getting delayed, they will still be
giving thanks and rejoicing in the Lord.
Beloved, this is the kind of disposition expected of you as a
believer. By doing this God cannot but come to your aid at the
appropriate time. May God grant you the grace to hold on to
God firmly for your breakthrough in Jesus' Name. Amen.
Surely, there may be temptation to try alternative means but
please be immovable in the Lord and I am certain that it will end
up in praise in Jesus' Name.
Prayer point: Oh Lord, grant me the grace to hold on to you till
the end in Jesus' Name.
