Psalm 27:14

Today this verse spoke to me. Psalm 27:14- Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. (‭Psalm‬ ‭27‬:‭14‬ NIV)

So many times I want to rush ahead of things. Like yesterday. I was given this thought to what I could become. I was told I would be good at it. I pondered it. I researched it. I got excited. I want it. I want to do it NOW. I wanted to talk to my husband about it all night, but the kids were needing attention and by the time we were alone, I was exhausted. And today I feel deflated about it.

This verse is a reminder to me. Wait for God. Wait for his timing. If it is His plan, He will bring it to be. I love the middle of this. In the midst of the waiting, I need to be strong and take heart. Not lay around waiting and moaning and complaining about the speed in which this is happening. Not grumbling and whining about how much longer. Be strong. Have muscle power. Build the muscle and stamina I need to get through the waiting. Not physical muscle, necessarily, but spiritual muscles.

Be strong and take heart. Have heart. Have a heart that beats in tune with what God wants. Have a heart that loves passionately. Don't just sit around and wait, but be about God's business while I wait for what God has planned.

And wait for the Lord. It's so important, He says it twice. Making sure that we get the point. Wait for God to point you in the right direction. Wait for him to guide your steps.

So today, I will prayerfully wait. I will keep on researching. I will read about this new venture. I will think, pray, and talk to my husband about it. But in everything, I will wait on God to guide my path.
