WAIT ON THE LORD
111th BDS – 12/7/2023
Scripture Reference: Psalm 27:14
“Wait on the LORD: Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.”
Psalm 27:14 KJV
Who, if any likes to wait? I mean let’s be real about this, specifically with ourselves. We live in a World where getting what we want when we want it is a must. I’ve always heard: “Patience, is a virtue Marchand…” and “Good things come, to those who wait…”, you know all the right clichés. I could tell you that it’s easy, a piece of cake, a stroll in the park to master the art of waiting patiently.. but that would be a whole lie as I still at times struggle with the “waiting process”. Like I literally have to turn to the promises of our GOD through His Word to cure the restlessness.
“For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.”
Habakkuk 2:3 KJV
“The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; Therefore will I hope in him.”
Lamentations 3:24 KJV
“I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, And in his word do I hope.”
Psalm 130:5 KJV
“My soul waiteth for the Lord More than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.”
Psalm 130:6 KJV
“The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, To the soul that seeketh him.”
Lamentations 3:25 KJV
“It is good that a man should both hope and quietly Wait for the salvation of the LORD.”
Lamentations 3:26 KJV
Final Thought: There is a day fast approaching when our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST will appear. For some it will be a day of long awaited jubilation and for others a day that will mark the beginning of tribulation. Every day that goes by brings us closer to a time of great change, no matter what side you choose to be on, on that day.. living, working and patiently waiting for our LORD’s return, or blinded by all the World seemingly has to offer while chasing status, elusive happiness and uncertain riches. Know this, while there is still time left, while there is still breath remaining in your body, while you still have eyes to read His Word and ears to hear His commands.. trust, believe in and wait on Him.. He will never fail you.. EVER!!!
“He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: but they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
Isaiah 40:29-31 KJV
