Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD! (Ps 27:14)

There are hours of perplexity when the most willing spirit, anxiously desirous to serve the Lord, knows not what part to take.

Then what shall it do? Vex itself by despair? Fly back in cowardice, turn to the right hand in fear, or rush forward in presumption?

No, but simply wait.

Wait in prayer.

Call upon God and spread the case before Him; tell Him your difficulty, and plead His promises of aid.

Wait in faith.

Express your unstaggering confidence in Him. Believe that if He kept you tarrying even till midnight, yet He will come at the right time; the vision shall come, and shall not tarry.

Wait in patience.

Never murmur against the second cause, as the children of Israel did against Moses. Accept the case as it is, and put it as it stands, simply and with your whole heart, without any self-will, into the hand of your covenant God, saying,

“Now, Lord, not my will, but Yours be done. I know not what to do; I am brought to extremities; but I will wait until You shall cleave the floods, clear my case, clean my paths ,or create a miracle. I will wait, if You keep me many a day, for my heart is fixed upon You alone, O God, and my spirit waits for You in full conviction that You will yet be my joy and my salvation, my refuge and my strong tower. Amen”

And you know very well that:

“…those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary
They shall walk and not faint”
(Isaiah 40:31)

So-

Wait patiently…Trust peacefully…
