Wait On The Lord ( Psalm 27:14 )

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

Psalm 27:14

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wait, wow as a culture that is something we don't like to hear. The thing is when it comes to any situation whether we are going through a storm or asking God about where He wants us to work in a ministry we should wait on Him. No matter what our mind or what logic may tell us, we must wait on the Lord. Here David also writes in this same verse be of good courage. To me this just makes sense. Why not be of good courage for we have God on our side. When it comes to making any decision we know that in waiting on God first hand that we have waited for His timing. Then in His providence when He reveals the time we will have the assurance to have this courage to make the choice and decision He has revealed to us. In addition to us be of good courage He will strengthen our heart. He will do this by confirming that this is His will through the Holy Spirit. Awesome isn't that when you seek God's face, wait on Him, that in His time He will lead you to a decision and not only that,but confirm it.


So, friends, brothers and sisters in Christ I encourage you if there is something you desire seek the Lord. Seek His counsel and wait on Him. Truly blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and puts his hope in Him( Jeremiah 17:7 ). Waiting isn't easy, just ask me I know, but God is faithful( 1 Corinthians 1:9 ). Just because we can't see how God is going to work something out doesn't mean He won't, instead we just need to just trust Him. As it says in this, Wait on the Lord, Be of good courage. Friends I can tell you I believe I will be a father and husband one day. When I don't know,but I trust in the Lord alone on this. Knowing that He knows my deepest needs now and will meet that need when the time is right, not my time, His perfect time.

For anyone reading this tonight who has not accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior I invite you to do so. Cast all your worries, doubts, and fears at His feet, the feet of mercy for He cares for you( 1 Peter 5:7 ). Repent of your old ways, your sins and find your identity in Jesus Christ ( 2 Corinthians 5:17 ). Don't let your past or not being perfect get in the way( Psalm 103:12, Romans 3:23 ). Instead cast yourself upon His mercy( Luke 18:13 ). Remember He is waiting on you with arms wide open( John 3:16 ). In those arms you will find love( John 15:13 ), mercy( Romans 5:6-8 ), forgiveness( 1 John 1:9 ), and a grace that is sufficient( 2 Corinthians 12:9 ). Will you choose Him ? Will you let Him set you free from the bonds of sin( John 8:36 ) ? This is a matter of life and death, life and death eternal( John 3:18 ). Don't wait( Matthew 24:36 )!


God bless,
