THE REWARD FOR WAITING

Waiting is one of the hardest things to do.

We want to be people of action. We feel better if we are doing something to address our need, but waiting forces us to rely on God. David learned what it meant to wait. He was chosen by God to be the next king of Israel, then spent years waiting for the day God’s Word would come to pass in his life. In fact, David faced great adversity while waiting upon God’s promise, and he knew what it meant to become discouraged and fearful.

But David enjoyed the reward for waiting upon the Lord, and became the greatest king in Israel’s history.

“Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD.” Psalm 27:14
