Psalm 27:14–Wait For the Lord

Psalm 27:14–"Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!"

This is a direct command, a command to wait for the Lord.  But it is not a passive waiting, as if we are to wait aimlessly.  No.  We are called to wait courageously and with strength.  This is to say that our waiting is sustained and supported His power and in His enduring strength.  The waiting is not just a wait without purpose or intent.  Instead, waiting serves several objectives, not the least of which being to propel our growth in faith.  There are so many times in our lives when waiting is the only action for us.  When this is the case, let us remember the great joy that waiting can be as it is a great opportunity to trust in Him.
