Wait For Him

 

Psalm 27:14 - Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. 

Time is one of the most effective tools for teaching you to rely on Him. This has been true throughout history – seen often in the lives of great saints such as David, who wrote the Psalm above.

David was a teenager when the prophet Samuel anointed him to succeed Saul as King of Israel. Although this was a great honor, it was only the beginning of a long and difficult wait – one filled with devastating losses and uncertainties. At one point, David was forced to flee from Israel altogether, making the fulfillment of his dreams seem impossible. But David trusted the Lord to do as He said, and because he did, David eventually took the throne. And through it all, the Lord molded David’s character – fitting him to be a godly king of Israel.

You can be certain the same is true for you. In your waiting, the Father is preparing you for His awesome purposes. So today, no matter the disappointments, delays, or seeming impossibilities, take the advice from a man who knows: Wait for the Lord; be strong and be encouraged. Yes, wait for the Lord.
