Wait on the Lord

Got Faith?

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

What or who takes away my peace and unsettles my soul and roils my thoughts?

Why?

And why should it not?

“One thing have I desired of the Lord” (Psalm 27:4) — Only one? Is that enough for me?

What sacrifices of joy do I have for the Lord in the middle of these circumstances?

Should I spend more time crying out to God and less time “figuring it out on my own”?

How have I gone about seeking God’s face? How is that done?

Why do I want to know God’s way? Are there better reasons and motivations?

“Wait on the Lord” (Psalm 27:14) — What’s that and how’s it done?

“Be of good courage” (Psalm 27:14) — In this situation?! How, how, how??!!

Psalm 27 is mine. It really fits me right now. It’s the cry of my heart. Now…how soon will I forget it?

from Psalm 27:4

And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

Reading:

What do I know about humbling myself?

What shall I do with my pride?

Do I seek out those on the low end of the social ladder?

Can I wait for my reward, even till the resurrection of the just?

On what basis do I ask God to excuse me from His calls to me?

Will I allow God’s priorities to rearrange my own?

“And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready” (Luke 14:17).

from Luke 14:11
