Wellspring of Joy
Psalm 27:13-14
I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.
~ King David
Pondering Point
Don’t fear the call to wait – even if there is injustice present. Pray and watch. Watch and pray.
It is not unusual for followers of God to find themselves waiting on the Lord. It was true of Abraham and Joseph, Moses and David too. Whether it is waiting on the Holy Spirit (like the disciples), waiting on prayer to be answered or waiting to be brought home, David reminds us that periods of waiting are followed by goodness from God. In light of this, take David's advice be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.
Joseph waited 13 years
Abraham waited 25 years
Moses waited 40 years
Jesus waited 30 years
If God is making you wait,
you're in good company.
Prayer
Father God,
I trust in your timing and commit to wait upon you as my Lord.
Grant me strength and endurance while I wait.
Encourage me to fill my time of waiting with periods of prayer, singing and treating others kindly.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
