Wait

Psalm27:14 “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”

“Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” Psalm 27:14

Thoughts on today’s verse

If there is anything we don’t like to do, it’s wait. Maybe that is why God is so interested in us learning to do it! There is something purifying about remaining strong in tough times and remaining faithful when ill winds blow. So God gives us times of waiting to see if our search is really for him or merely for something new.

Prayer:

Loving Father, I know you have waited for me so many times — for me to show my faith, repent of my sins, grow in holiness, come to you in prayer, act more mature, give to those who cannot return my care… Help me as I wait for you to show me the way with my decisions, to meet my needs, and reveal your presence in my loneliness. I really do seek you with all my heart. Through Jesus I pray. Amen.

Wait For It

devotional on patience

“For through the Spirit we eagerly await by faith the righteousness for which we hope.” Galatians 5:5

She stood on her tip-toes, peering through the front window. Her mother asked her what she was doing. “Gran said she is sending me a present. I’m waiting for the delivery van to stop at our driveway.”

“But sometimes it takes a while to get here. Let’s find out when your package will arrive.”

The mom looked up the tracking online and told her young child what day it would arrive.
Even so, her daughter waited by the window. At lunch, the mom asked why her daughter didn’t go play with the dolls she got for Christmas or color in the coloring book she received on her birthday. A friend asked her over to play. She refused.

“It may come early. I’ll stay here.”

If only discovering God’s movement in our lives was as easy as viewing a tracking schedule. If we knew our prayers would be answered at a certain time on a certain day, we wouldn’t need hope. But that is often not how it works, is it? We have to have faith in the promise that God has plans for us, that He loves us and wants the best for us. It is okay to wait with eagerness, as long as we don’t become discouraged if our prayers are not answered immediately or miss the other blessings He bestows in the meantime.

Dearest Lord, let us always place our hope in Your righteousness. Keep us from wishing so much for the things we want that we neglect the things You have given us. Let us always seek Your Spirit, and be thankful for the blessings You have already bestowed upon us. Amen.
