Psalm 27:14 "Wait for the Lord, take
courage; be stouthearted, wait for the Lord!"
The reason that we many times do not see or feel the Lord is that we are not waiting on the Lord. We are still on our own timetable and we are still running madly ahead of God and hoping He will catch up to our plans. But that is not how God works. He doesn’t change and He does not hurry just because we are impatient.
Your trial is real, your burden is heavy and your discouragement is deep. But put your eyes upon this promise: God is never late and He is never insufficient.
What will the future bring? How can I make it through this ordeal? How should I handle this decision? The answer echoes through the tunnel of time and from the soundboard of millions of saints: Wait on the Lord. The trial may not go away tomorrow, but neither will the strength that God has promised to give you. The pain may not diminish, but neither will His grace.
