SCRIPTURE: Psalm (NIV) 130:5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope.
OBSERVATION: In this short psalm, only 8 verses long, we find wonderful truth about waiting on God.
How do you wait? What do you do when you wait? The psalmist has a good thing to do while waiting. He keeps his thoughts busy in the Word!
APPLICATION: If the devil is in any way involved in the delay, and he finds you in the word, he will quickly get things rolling. Far be it from him to think he is providing you time to draw closer to God!
If God has some special purpose in your waiting, get into the Word! You will realize God’s purpose more quickly, and you will be greatly benefited by the waiting time. The waiting will not be just “dead” time in your life, it will have gained eternal value!
PRAYER: Lord, you are worth waiting for!!! It is never a waste of time to wait on you. Just spending time with You, in your word increases the value of my time. Many times, in waiting on you, I gain fresh understanding of your Word. Teach me, Lord, to wait until your timing is perfect. Amen
