“Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.” – Psalm 27:14
Waiting on the Lord is never a waste of time. It is a deep expression of trust, patience, and faith in God’s perfect timing. We live in a world that demands instant results, yet the Lord calls us to slow down and wait on Him. This waiting is not passive but active — a posture of hope and confidence, knowing that God will surely come through.
Patience is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22), and it is refined in seasons of waiting. Sometimes, God delays not to deny us but to prepare us. His timing is flawless: “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1).
When life feels heavy and discouraging, God’s Word reminds us to be strong and courageous. He promises to strengthen our hearts as we wait. What seems delayed is never denied. Habakkuk 2:3 declares: “Though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.”
No battle lasts forever. As we wait on God, He equips us to overcome every challenge and emerge victorious. Isaiah 40:31 encourages us: “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
So take courage today. Waiting on the Lord positions you for breakthroughs and blessings you could never orchestrate on your own. Trust Him. He will never fail you.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for reminding me that waiting on You is never wasted time. Strengthen my heart when I feel weary and impatient. Help me to trust Your perfect timing and to remain courageous even in difficult seasons. I believe that as I wait, You are working all things together for my good. Renew my strength like the eagle’s and fill me with unshakable faith. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
