Glorificare Dio significa restituirgli la sua reputazione, diffondendo un’opinione positiva sulla sua persona, a partire dal riconoscimento della sua bontà, della sua generosa volontà di salvezza rivolta a tutta l’umanità.

13: Wait on the Lord – Singing with Inpsiration
The beautiful picture on the front of our lesson pamphlet brings us our theme hymn for this quarter with its two variations in melody: Hym 552/546 – The Lord’s My Shepherd.
Psalm 30:4
“Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His,
And give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name.”
The climax of our quarter’s studies has brought us to
Hymn 214 – We Have This Hope. Sabbath afternoon’s introduction to this week’s studies then shows 
My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less – Hymn 522 and
Hymn 535 – I Am Trusting Thee, Lord Jesus to help me to be
Bringing In The Sheaves – Hymn 369.
Sunday explains all about what waiting is:
Hymn 287 – The Church Has Waited Long and like our church, and for many people,
The Saviour Is Waiting – Hymn 289. The day’s study finishes with
We Have This Hope – Hymn 214.
The study of Psalm 131 on Monday encourages us to see “God to be faithful and true to His Word”:
Hymn 100 – Great Is Thy Faithfulness.
Bringing In The Sheaves – Hymn 369 is pointed out to us on Tuesday and that we can still
Praise Him! Praise Him – Hymn 249 as the people did in their further captivity (Psalm 126:1).
The beautiful Sabbath Rest we had yesterday (as I write this now) is expounded more on Wednesday, and in
Hymn 381 – Holy Sabbath, Day Of Rest and Hymn 390 – We Love Thy Sabbath, Lord.
We all await the joy that comes in the morning and can sing this heartily in
Hymn 430 – Joy By And By.
May we all “Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him (Psalm 37:7) as we complete this quarter’s studies and then learn more of the Great Controversy in our next quarter’s studies.

Lesson 13: Wait on the Lord | 13.1 The Call of Waiting
Lesson 13: Wait on the Lord
The Power of Patient Waiting: Trusting in God’s Timing and Guidance
In the spiritual journey of a believer, waiting plays a prominent role. The Bible is rich in stories of people who patiently waited on God while facing life’s challenges. In Lesson 13, we will delve deeply into the theme of waiting in the context of faith, specifically focusing on the injunction “Wait for the Lord.”
The call to wait on the Lord is more than just passive inactivity. It is an active posture of trust and hope in God’s intervention in our lives and in the world around us. This lesson will encourage us to reflect more deeply on the significance of waiting and understand how it can strengthen and shape our faith.
By examining biblical examples of faith heroes who waited for God’s intervention, we will learn how waiting can be a transformative force in our lives. We will also contemplate the hope and promises given to us as we patiently wait for God’s action.
Ultimately, this lesson will encourage us to remain steadfast in faith, trusting that God is faithful, and remind us that our waiting on the Lord is not in vain. May this lesson help us to delve deeper into dedication and trust in our Creator as we await the unfolding of His plans.
13.1 The Call of Waiting
Waiting on God: An Invitation to Perseverance and Hope
Read Psalm 27:14; 37:7, 9, 34; 39:8; 40:2; 69:7; Galatians 5:5; and Romans 8:18–25. What do these verses earnestly request of God’s people?
These verses in Psalm 27:14; 37:7, 9, 34; 39:8; 40:2; 69:7; Galatians 5:5; and Romans 8:18–25 fervently ask God’s people for patience, endurance, and hope during waiting. They call for trusting God amidst uncertainty and difficulties, waiting for Him to fulfill His promises. This waiting is not passive but requires perseverance and a deep longing for God, akin to thirst in a dry land.
In Romans 8:18–25, the Apostle Paul describes the waiting of the entire creation for redemption and reunion with God at the end of time. This hope is a source of strength and comfort for believers, even when faced with life’s challenges. Paul reminds us that God is with His people even now, through the Holy Spirit, and that our waiting for the fulfillment of promises is ultimately not in vain.
As Adventist Christians, we are called to bear witness to the hope of the new creation promised in Christ. Our hope in His return is firmly grounded in the certainty of His first coming and the associated resurrection. Therefore, our waiting is not merely passive but an active trust and anticipation of the fulfillment of divine promises.
The connection between our daily lives and our faith, especially regarding waiting on God, is extremely significant. Here are some aspects of this connection:
-
Patience and endurance: In everyday life, we often encounter situations where we need patience and endurance. Whether dealing with interpersonal conflicts, professional challenges, or personal goals, our faith teaches us to have patience and persevere even when solutions are not immediately apparent.
-
Hope and comfort: Waiting on God brings hope and comfort into our daily lives. Amidst difficulties and uncertainty, we can cling to God’s promises and trust that He cares for us and will guide us, even if it requires a time of waiting.
-
Community and support: Our faith community provides us with support and encouragement as we wait for God’s answer. Through prayer, mutual encouragement, and communal worship, we can strengthen each other and be reminded that we are not alone.
-
Self-reflection and spiritual growth: Waiting on God allows us to reflect on ourselves and spiritually grow. We can recognize our dependence on God and learn to trust Him even when we don’t understand why certain things happen or why prayers seemingly go unanswered.
-
Acting in faith: While waiting on God, we are called to act in faith. This means continuing to follow God’s commandments, serve, and advocate for justice and love, even when we do not yet see the complete fulfillment of His promises.
Overall, waiting on God is not just a spiritual exercise but also a practical attitude that permeates our daily lives, helping us to grow and mature in faith.
