Waiting for something I know is coming is easy for me because I know it shall be mine. Waiting for God is easy because something inside me says that I am His.
Impatience is an awful thing is it not bringing about envy and bitterness but their is hope for the believer in this "I want it now culture". God grants a great promise in Philippians 4:6-7 NASB
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
He can grant peace in the wait, in the anxious longing of one's heart, whether He grants the request it is according to God's will and I am writing this for my own benefit God brings about moment of great clarity at times that is a blessing.
So today in in thinking about waiting whether it be for God as in Psalm 63 or for an unfulfilled hope may my heart and whoever else reads this be grant peace and patience in the wait. These are my thoughts in thinking about Psalm 62 (ESV)
1 For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation.
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken.
3 How long will all of you attack a man
to batter him,
like a leaning wall, a tottering fence?
4 They only plan to thrust him down from his high position.
They take pleasure in falsehood.
They bless with their mouths,
but inwardly they curse.Selah
5 For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from him.
6 He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
7 On God rests my salvation and my glory;
my mighty rock, my refuge is God.
8 Trust in him at all times, O people;
pour out your heart before him;
God is a refuge for us. Selah
9 Those of low estate are but a breath;
those of high estate are a delusion;
in the balances they go up;
they are together lighter than a breath.
10 Put no trust in extortion;
set no vain hopes on robbery;
if riches increase, set not your heart on them.
11 Once God has spoken;
twice have I heard this:
that power belongs to God,
12 and that to you, O Lord, belongs steadfast love.
For you will render to a man
according to his work.
