Psalm 27: 14
Wait on the LORD; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart. Wait, I say, on the LORD.
It is hard to wait; waiting patiently is even harder. There are great rewards that the LORD has promised to those who wait on Him. It seems to me that watching and waiting go hand in hand. While we are waiting for the LORD to move to meet our needs, we watch to see what He is doing to provide during the time of waiting. It can be very exciting to see His Hand keeping time to the rhythm of the Spirit, so that not a moment is lost, or a beat missed. GOD never misses a beat.
In this verse from Psalm 27, there are four keys to waiting: the first is "wait on the LORD". This can mean, be patient or it can mean "keep your focus on the LORD, not on the circumstances". To wait on the LORD is a test of our trust in Him. Can you say with Job, "though He slay me, yet will I trust Him"? Waiting on the LORD, watching for Him to move, trusting Him to provide, is the manifestation of devotion to the LORD.
Patience is part of the fruit of the Spirit. When we are patient, we are bearing fruit unto righteousness.
