"Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD" - Psalm 27:14
I like the phrase, “take
heart.” It means to receive courage
or comfort from some fact. Hard to do
sometimes when we are waiting; waiting on the Lord.
On the other hand, this verse also warns us to not move
ahead of the Lord. Sometimes we just
feel a need to take some sort of action – I think that is our nature to a
point. Our hearts frequently are
comforted by the fact that we are doing something about…(you fill in the blank).
So we bolt ahead, and do things, even good things, that
may ultimately be out of the will of our God for us. That, for me, is when real trouble
begins. And hearts break, feelings are
hurt, failures happen. And comfort is
difficult to find.
The courage sometimes we need is found simply in waiting.
And trusting. God through Christ is in
control. He is. Sometimes, God is
telling us, “Wait…for me.”
Take heart in that.
