Is it just me or are people in general growing more and more impatient and less and less willing to wait? Perhaps that makes even more challenging the need for God’s children to “wait on the Lord.” The blessings of doing so are too innumerable to imagine, but by reading passages which speak of waiting on the Lord, we can find abundant promises to those who wait on Him.
To those who wait on the Lord, “He shall strengthen your heart” (Psa. 27:14), “He shall exalt you” (Psa. 37:34), and “He will save you” (Prov. 20:22; Isa. 25:9).
We can have confidence to wait on the Lord, for “He is our help and our shield” (Psa. 33:20), He “is my defense” (Psa. 59:9), He “is good to those who wait for Him” (Lam. 3:25), having promised that He will “incline His ear” to me and “hear me” (Psa. 40:1; Mic. 7:7).
“Blessed are all those who wait for Him,” for they “shall renew their strength…mount up with wings like eagles…run and not be weary…walk and not faint” (Isa. 30:18; 40:31).
