I Wait

I wait for the Lord.

I wait for the Lord , my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope.

Psalms 130:5 NIV

I wait for the Lord , my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope. Psalms 130:5 NIV https://psalm.bible/psalm-130-5

All the glory, praises and honor be to the Holy Father in Jesus’ precious name !

The Psalmist speaks out his heart in this subject verse. It is very clear from the words that he greatly longs for the Almighty God. Moreover, he is willing to wait on the Lord no matter what the circumstances around him might be. His focus is upon the Living God who is greater than any problem or hurdle. Therefore, he is willing to wait with all his heart and soul. As the Psalmist says in the following below verse, “be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.”

Wait for the Lord ; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord .

Psalms 27:14 NIV

The another important aspect of the verse is putting our hope on the Almighty God. Indeed, our trust and faith in God’s word also shows our hope in Him. Therefore, it is clear in the heart of the Psalmist that He trusts the word of God or His promises. In fact, if we give heed to the word of God, there shall be no more fears of any sort. For the word of God is a soothing balm and alleviates fear from us. Furthermore, as the following verse says, “our faith in God is the confidence in what we hope for.”

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

Hebrews 11:1 NIV

The word of God removes from us the fear of the world. And most importantly, we wait on the God with our whole heart and soul. For the Almighty is our confidence and strength. In Jesus precious and matchless name, submit and surrender to the Lord and be blessed. Amen.
