How to Wait

I start every morning with coffee with God through daily devotions from Our Daily Bread. Today’s devotion is titled “How to Wait.” Tim Gustafson wrote this devotion. The scripture reading is Psalm 27:1–3, Psalm 27:7–14 with the key verse, “Hear my voice when I call, Lord; be merciful to me and answer me.”, Psalm 27:7. My beloved children, grandchildren, cousins, nephews, brothers, and sisters in Christ, all I write, I first pray to God to guide my words to serve as spiritual food and guidance. I desire God to be my sole source of writing. All the credit goes to God, not me. I am his humble servant. I thank God that He led to use Our Daily Bread Ministries as my inspiration for comments.

Our family went through any challenges. I lost a job, and my unemployment benefits ran out. We faced mounting bills and rent payments. We did not know what to do. We prayed to The Lord for help. We expected instant results but was disappointed.

Like David, we knew God will help, but we had our doubts. God did come through. We saw the goodness of The Lord.

David tells us, “Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord” (Psalm 27:14).

Reflect:

What do you do with your big questions? Where have you seen answers “in the land of the living” (Psalm 27:13), and where are you still waiting for answers?

Prayer:

Father melt my heart along with my fears and my anger.

My Prayer for You:

May God bless you and melt your heart along with your fears and anger.
