TOTD, Mar 11

Wait on the Lord

When we're waiting on something that we've been really longed for, we tend to become impatient. Of course, we react differently towards waiting. Some of us become desperate, some of us become frustrating, while some others become angry to the Lord because they don't get what they want.
But today's word of God asks us to wait in a good courage because in faith we believe that He shall strengthen our heart.

I remembered a friend of mine who really wanted to have a child. This couple has tried every way they could to get a baby but they need to wait for six years until God gave them one.
It was really a wonderful gift for them, a cute baby girl.
And from their experience, I could learn that they waited patiently in faith. They wait on the Lord's plan to be fulfilled in their life.
There were times they became sad, stressful, frustrated, depressed, or even angry, I'm sure! But then finally they realized that there's no other way except waiting in faith.That's the best way. And for them, it worked, God gave them a baby in His time.

So, today, maybe you're waiting for something that you've been dreaming of all your life.
Let's wait patiently and in good courage. Let's wait on the Lord! (-fon-)

Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord!
—Psalm 27:14
