"Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He will strengthen your heart; Wait, I say on the Lord!" Ps. 27:14
What a promise; that from God Himself one will receive strength.
When I was a child there was a common saying; "Weight broke the wagon down."
I now realize that the word my "advisors" were giving me was not the same one David had in mind when he wrote the twenty-seventh Psalm.
No one ever 'out-waits' God.
We can put our trust, or confidence, in Him continually with full assurance that our wait, no
matter how long, will bring forth the best results.
I confess I have not always remembered this, but at the same time I certainly confess I wish I had.
David was right when he wrote this Psalm.
Waiting is not easy. It takes faith, and it takes courage, but the more it is practiced the stronger becomes our faith.
That's worth the wait!
