Wait on the Lord…With Me
Patience, though a virtue, has never been my forte and no doubt that has to be true for many of us. Though hard to admit as a child of God, I always seem to be rushing from one task to another and as a result I end up jetting right past the wisdom of God and sometimes grossly outside of my place of victory. Maybe you can relate. What would happen if we developed the discipline of waiting on the Lord? In the coming weeks meditate with me on the 27th Psalm. The Psalmist reminds us that if we wait upon the Lord, He will strengthen our heart; He will teach us His ways and even make our pathway smooth and uncomplicated. I think my favorite part is when the Psalmist says:
I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living (13)
Again, meditate with me on this word at least for the next 30 days – when we rise in the morning, throughout the day, and before we rest our eyes at night. If we're faithful and slow down a bit, I do believe that we'll meet up together in the land of victory!
