Why We Wait Upon God

Jeremiah 14:22 KJV
Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain? or can the heavens give showers? art not thou he, O LORD our God? therefore we will wait upon thee: for thou hast made all these things.

The Prophet gives good reason to wait upon the Lord....

First, because the gods of the Gentile world are just vanities.They are false
They are useless and
They are powerless


The land was in a drought when the Prophet spoke these words. And none of the vanites of the Gentiles could have done anything to correct it.

Secondly, the Lord has made all thingsGod is real
God is alive
God is powerful and
God is capable to answering the prayers of those who call upon Him


It is obvious why a man would wait upon the Lord. There is no other one upon whom to wait.
