Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD! - Psalm 27: 14
I don’t think waiting for the Lord is quite the same thing as waiting in line at the grocery store. God doesn’t somehow pay less attention to us because we’re behind someone else in a queue. No, we believe God loves us all, all the time. Waiting for the Lord engages a different part of who we are, a part that might not come alive as we wait in a line: our hearts. When we wait, we take a pause to pray and allow God to be God. Wait for the Lord’s love – choose not to let that one person at work get to you. Wait for the Lord’s courage – choose to make that tough phone call. Wait for the Lord’s strength – that difficult decision won’t be any less difficult, but God is there. All requires heart-strength; all requires God’s grace. Be strong and wait.
