Wait on the Lord
Wait on the LORD;Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD! Psalm 27:14
The Lord works in funny ways sometimes. Just when you think that you have him figured out he approaches you from a different angle; just to let you know who’s really in charge.
That is what waiting on the Lord is all about. It’s about figuring on what he wants you to do next. The waiting can cause anxiety yet during the same time the Lord says, ‘just wait.’ He knows we need to learn patience.
Patience that waits on the timing of the Lord and not our own timing. A time to learn how to strengthen your own heart… to encourage yourself in the Lord. A time to learn how to overcome fear with courage.
For God’s given each of us a certain amount of courage. Yet like everything else in our heart it takes time for it to mature.
Some have courage but they use it unwisely. Their courage runs over others. Others have courage but fear keeps them back. Time and love temper both until the right time… the Lord’s time.
