"Wait on the LORD; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait I say, on the LORD.' Psalm 27:14 NKJV
We need to be confident in our waiting, strong and full of courage. To wait is to demonstrate confident expectation. Lamentations 3:25 says, 'The LORD is good to those who wait for Him. To the soul who seeks Him.' The Hebrew word for 'wait' is Qavah. Its meaning is to wait for; to look for; to expect and to hope. Qavah is the root of the noun Tiqvah which means hope or expectancy. (Strong's Dictionary). Therefore, we are to wait hopefully.
Waiting is an area that God is speaking about to many people. If God has promised us something, we tend to want it now; not so much because we are greedy, but because we become excited that God is at work. However, there is mostly a waiting process and we have to practice patience, which I admit, is not easy. It is though, worth it.
As we can see from Lamentations 3:25, God is good to those who wait but, He wants us to be patient. There are things that God is doing that we don't know about. He's doing this to ensure that what he has promised us is good. If it were to be rushed, it could go very wrong. Therefore, He tells us to wait.
We are all waiting for something and at times, the more we focus on it, the longer it seems to take. It is far better, if we're confident in what God has promised us, to thank Him for it, remain in expectant hope and then, get on doing what we would normally do. This way, God often surprises us with, 'Suddenly'. I love these times. We're just getting on with our day when, 'Suddenly,' God turns up and everything changes.
You may have been waiting so long for something special. Each day, you hope, but each day, it doesn't happen. Please be encouraged, today may be the day when it does happen and your whole life changes for the better.
Just take courage and hope.
