“Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” Psalm 27:14
To “wait for the Lord” is to demonstrate confident expectation. The Hebrew word for wait may also be translated “hope.” To hope in God is to wait for His timing and His action.
Though we request many things from God in prayer, God acts in His own time. In this verse David waits for God to answer, but he waits with confident hope.
David recognizes that when the Lord is on his side, he has nothing to fear. people are prone to fearful responses. We worry about problems in this life, acting as if we face them alone. Yet God is our light and our salvation. Since He has redeemed us, we have nothing to fear. “If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31)
God’s blessings on your day…
