Hope in the Lord!
Be strong! Let your heart take courage!
Hope in the Lord! (Psalm 27:14, CEB)

No one likes to wait.

“Hope” and “wait” are ways to translate the Hebrew word used in Psalm 27:14. The NIV uses “wait.” What is communicated is this: What you’re seeking from God isn’t coming at the click of a mouse. There is a season where you have to have your eyes fixed on the Father… waiting… hoping… anticipating. We need that sense of longing once again in our lives.

The world moves to fast. We want results faster. We need more instantaneous results. The days of “slow plodding” are gone… or seem to be. There just doesn’t seem to be any need for waiting any more.

But that is the admonition of Scripture. Prophets are told to wait for the answer of a dream or a revelation. The church was told to wait until they were clothed with power from on high.

Our fast-paced world screams out to us to get the lead out! We move quick or we are run over.

And this wonderful call still comes from our Father.

Wait.
