Do you ever spend time waiting around for someone else to act before you can progress?
Do you ever spend time waiting around for the body to heal before you can feel better?
Do you ever wait for weeks, months, even years, for your economic environment to improve before you can make a better living?
If so, it may be a signal to start waiting on God more and the world less.
When you wait on God there are no limits to how fast you can progress and how that progress might happen.
When you wait on God, you never wait on the body to heal. You heal the body with divine Mind. There is no waiting involved.
When you wait on God, you never have to wait for time to pass before your business can prosper. Time has nothing to do with success. Mind is the source of all success, and the infinite resources of Mind are always present in full operation and ready to be relied upon. Success is about how fast one is willing to rely on Mind for guidance and support.
So, if you feel like some aspect of your life is on hold take a hard honest look at what you’ve tied your expectations for progress to. If your hope for success is tied to a condition of the world, or another person, that could be the limited view that is holding you back. Think past that limit. Untie your prospects for success from people, places or things, and go right to God for expanded views of what is possible.
God can always find a work-around for stalled human conditions. With God, there is no stalling. There is only omnipresent, ever-present good here and now!
So, what are you waiting for? Wait no more. Look to God, see fresh possibilities, and move on. Success awaits you.
“…wait on the Lord, and he shall save thee.” Proverbs 20:22
Thank you, Evan. This is quite a wonderful message for me. It makes want to pray more earnestly, to listen more attentatively, to just trust in our dear Father Mother God more sincerely.
Thanks again Evan I need these reminders!
Thank you so much! What wonderful reminders!
This is Exactly the message I needed to hear this morning, Evan! It is truly amazing how everything you’ve written is so apropos to challenges I seem to be facing right at the moment.
These angel messages are so comforting and I appreciate your thoughtfulness in sharing these wonderful truths with us, so much.
Thanks for another inspiring post! I think some references to waiting on God might mean to serve God – to wait ON Him rather than wait FOR Him. As you pointed out so well, God’s resources are immediate and ample. No waiting needed.
This post is exactly what I needed to hear. I will have to read it several times to get it. I gave up a number of years ago waiting on other people to act. But I still feel as if I am waiting and waiting. In all I guess a clearer and clearer idea of who I am and who God is is what is always needed. God doesn’t see your life in little chunks that need tinkering with to make Life good.
Thank you.
Thanks, Evan! I’ve been waiting to see if my eyesight will improve, so I don’t have to get glasses……but I haven’t really been waiting on God i.e. to understand that God is doing all the Seeing, His sight is never dim! I still don’t understand why so many Christian Scientists just go ahead and get glasses! I see Readers in C.S. Churches, Practitioners and Teachers, too, who just blatently wear glasses – even showing up in the them for pictures on JHS-Online! Any ideas on this from anyone out there…?? Thanks!
As to answer Bevin, Standpoint, ID; Criticizm is not needed hear. We are all climbing Jacobs Ladder. Each step is a step of progress. Even JESUS had made mistakes. Mistakes aren’t failures. It’s progress. Mortal Mind originates failure, Divine Mind only sees progress. Let’s not jump to condemn but jump to inspire.
Thanks, Tobias! Good Answer! I just get confused sometimes with C.S. and the focus on Perfection. I just talked with a C.S. Teacher and she said Mrs. Eddy was really into being Practical and that Mrs. Eddy wore reading glasses herself for a while, until she was able to put them off. I just made an appointment for an eye exam for contacts or glasses! We can only demonstrate what we understand! Thanks again!
Yes, I think the best answer is “Judge not.” We all have our opportunities to grow spiritually, and who is to stay which one is most important to be demonstrating at the moment. Each individual is working out their perfection as they see it. The use of glasses is a temporary aid, but not a permanent fix, as everyone knows. They still afford abundant opportunity to keep growing spiritually and demonstrate the greater truth of vision in Spirit. They are a “suffer it to be so now,” step to perhaps preserve a greater good of being able to drive safely or read when necessary, but can’t stop one from still growing spiritually and someday being able to see clearly without them.
I have a little poem that I just love and would like to share:
Patience
by Sharon Huntington
(Sentinel, December 12, 1997
Patience is not in
waiting for good to happen.
Patience is knowing that
all of God’s goodness unfolds
at exactly the right time.
This has helped me many times when I’ve been tempted to wonder just when the right time will finally come. The right time is always NOW!
To Bevi: Just remember we all see through God’s eyes, including the optometrist. 😉
Always so great as ever Thanks

We always have many articles and our textbook available. When one studies to understand, at any age, they can deal with the issue. Forty or fifty years ago, reading the concepts about seeing, then being available as a pamphlet, or cd, enabled me to preclude the need for glasses now. The articles deal with the problems that are “common to men”.
Thank you, All of You, for your loving and helpful comments and support! I feel so much better now and understand a little better how to “emerge gently”! I feel a need to be healed from feeling guilty for not being able to demonstrate More and Faster! Maybe let go of the human ego and let God take the lead and show me what I’m ready to understand and demonstrate at this time in my life…….?? Hmmmmmmm….. XO!
Yes of course waiting on God, focusing on God instead of the world, for all good things, brings a sense of comfort, joy and satisfaction. Human love is vain, not dependable, not constant. God’s love for you is unconditional, true, pure, selfless, dependable, everlasting and floods your consciousness with true and lasting happiness. God never lets us down, He never leaves our side and He is most wonderfully kind. God alone is the source of our happiness so why not wait on God instead of the world????
Brilliant! Thanks for this blog – just what I needed today!!
