Waiting

Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.
Psalm 27:14

Waiting is not easy, to put it simply. Many people (including myself) lack patience. Patience is an attribute that should be longed for, we should STRIVE to be patient, but so often we hate waiting... Our society is so fast pace that when God says to "wait" we can't because we do not know how. We want everything now and this instant, but some of the best things in life come after a period of waiting. Things such as a child (which takes 9 months), marriage, a deep friendship, a good job, and more. "Wait for the Lord," do we wait for Him? Or do we tell Him to do what we want on OUR terms rather than on His terms. He tells us to ask Him for all things, but He never said he's going to give it to us NOW and He may never give it to us if it's not good for us. We are to be STRONG and TAKE HEART (have courage) while we wait. We do not wait in weakness being feeble and idle but we are to be STRONG. Do something in your waiting. Don't let the wait beat you down. God has given us strength above all strength because he resides in us, his power is OUR power. Be courageous, have faith during the wait. God is never too far, and He hears you. He always hears you. You are able to remain in Him, and He will empower you. WAIT for Him. Especially when he tells you too, because waiting on Him is better than running away and falling... Wait for the Lord.
