“Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” Psalm 27:14
When the Lord tells us to wait, why is it we too often begin to squirm and churn? The temptation of our times is to stay busy and delay stillness. Perhaps that’s why so many people never know that God is God. “Be still and know that I am God.” Psalm 46:10.
In waiting on the Lord, we gain strength for today and gain heart for the journey ahead. The journey with God is not unlike road trips of our day. As the highway builders invite us to pull off at rest areas, so our Lord leads us to times of rest, restoration, and renewal.
Need to exit now? Matthew 11:28, is our invitation to wait for the Lord and rest in Him.
