“Waiting” is not something I personally want to do. Have you ever ordered something online and just checked out and saw that your order will take 2 weeks to arrive? There’s some excitement, worry, and more importantly wanting to get it soon. “Waiting” is the ultimate test of patience. “Waiting” requires nothing but time, and we have no control over that. We try to fill the “wait” with other activities so that we don’t feel the length of time passing by. This is example is just material, what more if it’s an uncertain situation, or something life-changing, something that would make or break us? This Psalm actually reminds us what to do in those times. The reminder is to be strong, and take heart, be courageous. The results, are ultimately reliant on God’s time, regardless if they are favorable for us or not, we have to wait on the Lord and the actions that we have to take are mentioned.
So whatever drives you to fear, anxiety, or inaction, while waiting for answers and on God, we’re reminded that we have to take courage and be strong. To which, I hope with God’s power, help us to move forward with life and living as disciples while waiting. We’ll get there in God’s time.
