“I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.”
Psalm 27:13-14
Don’t waste a season of waiting. That may sound counterintuitive. But when we find ourselves in circumstances when “nothing” seems to be happening, when we feel stuck, or when there is no end in sight, you can be sure that God is at work. Not only is He working things in the physical and spiritual world around you for your good, but He is also working something eternal in you.
Waiting on God isn’t a passive activity at all. We don’t just wait; we anticipate. We anticipate how He will provide in miraculous ways or open doors that no one else can open. We anticipate what He will sanctify in our character as we remain faithful and obedient. In Psalm 27, David anticipated with confidence that he would experience God’s blessing in the days ahead. Often our natural inclination is to “lose heart” and wonder how much longer God would have us in life’s waiting room.
Instead of wishing a particular season away, set your hope on what God is doing in the unseen. Look for His goodness in front of you right now. It’s there, renewed every morning with the rising sun.
