Wait for the Lord.
Be strong.
Let your heart take courage.
Wait for the Lord.
Psalm 27:14
Waiting is hard. Waiting can get long. Waiting can get messy and confusing. Waiting can lead to forgetfulness of the Truth. The Truth that you may have known so clear at the beginning. But then as the days passed and stretched into weeks the Truth gets a little muddy.
What am I doing? Where is He? Why is this happening? When will ____happen? WHY?
But.
A period of waiting can also bring Rest. Peace. Reflection. Strength. Courage. Honesty.
There is purpose in His timing, purpose in His ways, purpose in all He does.
So with this I encourage you…and me to wait with assurance. Be strong. Take courage within and wait with purpose. For He’s not waiting…He just IS. And that is more than enough.
Love this –
and YES. Every. single. word. Yes.
Waiting is hard, but such an opportunity to experience His peace and love. Ashamed at how often I miss it!!
I’m in the same boat, often missing out on the goodness He gives in the waiting period. Praying we both have eyes wide open to what He’s doing at all times. Thanks for stopping by!
