We put an offer on a house yesterday! All of the sudden, 24 hours seems like 24 months. We are excited to see how God moves, but we have to admit: waiting is one the hardest thing to do. Why is it that some days "fly by" and others creep along at a snails pace?
Waiting is difficult, but it's a beautiful attribute when surrendered to the Lord. It seems like the last few years of our lives have encompassed this very simple, but very difficult principal.... WAIT!
Psalm 5:3
"In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation."
Psalm 27:14
"Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD."
Psalm 33:20-21
"We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name."
Psalm 40:1-3
"I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear and put their trust in the LORD."
Lamentations 3:22-25
Lamentations 3:22-25
"Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him." The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him"
