Waiting is difficult.

In a same-day delivery world, the idea of gratification delay is anathema.

But there’s more to waiting than meets the eye.

We’re told in Scripture:

“Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.” (Psalm 27:14 KJV)

This fabulous Hebrew word, “wait” (Heb: Quavah) holds secrets.

“Qavah” means to bind together by twisting, to collect and expect, to gather (together), to look patiently…

Wrap yourself around God’s promises.

Collect and expect what He has spoken.

Gather your thoughts and emotions and bind them to the mast of faith.

Look and see what He has in store.

Let the unseen realities of faith fill your vista.

Faith is the evidence of those things not yet manifest, the substance of the things you hope for.

When you wait in faith you are actively engaged. Entwined. Expectant.

And your heart will rest in assurance that while you wait, God will act.

“For from of old no one has heard nor perceived by the ear, nor has the eye seen a God besides You, Who works and shows Himself active on behalf of him who [earnestly] waits for Him.” (Isaiah 64:4 AMP)

Selah.
