Waiting

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. 14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. Psalm 27:13-14

Look around to see the goodness of the LORD (Jehovah, self Existent) . Have faith in God unless you faint (fade away – wither away). God is always there to give peace, guidance and courage to do right.

We are impatient people. We want everything now, whether it is an answer to prayer or something material. We need it right now. In this instant society, waiting is a thing in the past. We usually feel like we cannot live without a certain item.

The Bible tells us to wait (the act of delaying or lingering) for spiritual blessings or answers from the Lord. Waiting is difficult, God says if we wait on Him and have good courage (or a good attitude) He will strengthen our heart.

Waiting on the Lord, is a great way to grow spiritually. When we learn to wait we will be more patient with others, as well as with the Lord.

Have a blessed day,
Donna
