Wait On The Lord

May 11, 2026

“I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope;” Psalm 130:5 (ESV)

We live in a fast-paced world, where everything is quick, fast and in a hurry. There are fast food restaurants almost on every corner. Microwave meals are popular because of the speed in which it can be ready. It seems like there is nothing we have to wait for anymore and if we do end up waiting, impatience sets in and we become aggravated. Waiting is not a strong suit for many of us, however many times we find ourselves waiting on The Lord to come through for us, and when it seems like it is taking too long, we can begin to think about giving up hope. When we do not wait on The Lord, and take matters into our own hands we find ourselves in trouble. The Scripture reminds us of the importance of waiting on The Lord, and to keep our hope in His Word. I encourage you today to wait on The Lord. It does not matter how long you may have been waiting, keep waiting knowing The Lord will come through for you. Wait on The Lord knowing He is preparing you for what He has for you. While you are waiting on Him, read and study His Word, and in it you will find hope. You may not like to wait, and you may want everything quick, fast and in a hurry, but The Lord does not operate on your timetable, but He operates on His own. God's time is not your time, and He will be there for you when you need Him. The Lord has never let you down, never abandoned you, and He will not start now because He knows what you need, and He knows when you need it. Wait on The Lord and find your hope and strength in His Word. I will wait on The Lord through all that I go through knowing He will see me through it all. Since I am waiting on Him and find my hope in His Word, I have no doubt, "It's My Year To Get My Thing From My God!"

Prayer:

Lord, I will wait on you knowing that you will come through for me. There is not a time in my life that you have not come through for me and not mater the situation I face I know that you will come and see about me. Thank you for always being there for me. I will praise you while I am waiting on you, because you are worthy of my praise. I love you Lord. In Jesus Name Amen.
