"I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning." - Psalms 130:5-6
Dear Friends,
I love the familiar scripture in Psalms 27 "wait on the Lord and be of good courage..." Good courage is expecting the best. It is knowing that all things do work together for good for those who love the Lord. Good courage evokes a certain boldness not born of pride in self. Rather it is a boldness rooted in confidence in God.
Be of good courage. You may feel you are in a holding pattern. You may be impatient and want things to happen right now. You may feel like life is passing you by. You want to accomplish so much and you are not where you planned to be at this point in your life.
I want to encourage you to be of good courage. Rest in the assurance that the Lord holds your days, hours, minutes and seconds in His hands. He is the multiplier of gifts and opportunities.
Wait Patiently!
"Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass." - Psalms 37:7
Wait on His Name!
"But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever. I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: and I will wait on thy name; for it is good before thy saints." - Psalms 52:8-9
Wait on God!
"Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defence." - Psalms 59:9
Wait in His Word!
"Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord" - Proverbs 8:33-35.
"Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord." - Psalms 27:14
in Christ,
Sis. Stephanie
