“Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”
– Psalm 27:14
Waiting is hard. I think it’s especially hard for those of us used to having whatever we need right at our fingertips with our magic phones, and tablet computers. We live in a society driven by getting things done fast. Growing up in Nigeria, it was typical to see a semi truck with the phrase “no hurry in life” written on the back. There are some days when I miss that slower pace of life. The truth is, however, that I am just as guilty of the desire for things to happen now as most. The Psalms are full of reminders to wait on God. Even back then, people wanted things on their own time frame and not God’s. The verse today reminds me that God is my strength and waiting on Him, His timing, His wisdom, His provision is so much better than anything I can cook up on my own. My encouragement to you today is to “be strong, take heart and wait for the Lord.”
