waiting

Psalm 27:14 Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave & courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.


My Life Application Bible says this about this verse...

"David knew from experience what it meant to wait for the Lord. He had been anointed King at age 16 but didn't become king until he was 30.

"During the interim, he was chased through the wilderness by jealous King Saul. David had to wait on God for the fulfillment of His promise to reign.

"Later, after becoming king, he was chased by his rebellious son, Absalom.



"Waiting for God is not easy. Often it seems that He isn't answering our prayers or doesn't understand the urgency of our situation.

"That kind of thinking implies that God is not in control or is not fair. But God is worth waiting for.


"Lamentations 3:24-26 call us to hope in & wait for the Lord because often God uses times of waiting to refresh, renew, & teach us. Make good use of your waiting times by discovering what God may be trying to teach you in them."

Anybody out there waiting, like me?
