Wait for the Lord

Psalm 27: 14

“Wait for the Lord, be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!”

Sometimes, the hardest thing we can do is wait.  Whether we are waiting for a seat in our favorite restaurant, waiting for a special day or person to arrive, waiting for news whether it is good or bad, waiting is hard.  

But throughout the scriptures we read that patience is a virtue, particularly because God’s wisdom is not our wisdom, and God’s time is not our time. 

After the crucifixion, the disciples waited in the upper room.  After the resurrection, they waited by the Sea of Galilee.  After the ascension, they waited in Jerusalem. Throughout their waiting, their faith did not diminish but continued to increase.

Let us remain strong in our faith and live without fear, and know that our waiting is all in God’s time and all in God’s wisdom

May the love of Christ be with you,

Rev. Eric Lanier
