Take Heart in the Waiting


Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.
Psalm 27:14

Waiting is hard, isn't it? In our waiting stages of life we may feel a little weak, like we have to do something, make a decision, or fix it ourselves. Have you ever been there? Hello, my name is Kristi and I call patience the "p" word and I find myself in this state all of the time!

I love how in the absolute wisdom of the Lord, He encourages us to wait for Him, but while we wait we don't have to feel helpless or weak or even impatient (yikes!).

His Word tells us that He wants us to "be strong and take heart" in our waiting times. I've known the Lord long enough to know that He will come to our rescue, He will come to our defense, He will bring the answer, He will...He will...He will. He is all sufficient! He can do immeasurably above all that we ask, or dream, or hope. He has proved His faithfulness over and over again in my life and in the life of my family, and He will always do what He says He will do!


Don't grow weary in your waiting.
I needed that reminder today.

  4. Thank you Kristi for posting this. I love your blog. BTW, I posted this quote on Facebook this morning. I believe God is speaking to us about this waiting thinng.

    I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope.

  5. I agree. Waiting on God is so challenging -- yet, it produces character in us. My hubby and I are in a waiting stage right now - so this verse was particularly encouraging to me today. Thank you.
