Waiting for the Lord?

[Michael_Mayo]

That has been much of my prayer in recent days. Just silent waiting.

Psalm 5:3
In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.

Psalm 27:14
Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.

Psalm 33:20
We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.

Psalm 37:7
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;

Psalm 38:15
Lord, I wait for you; you will answer, Lord my God.

Psalm 40:1
I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry.

Psalm 119:166
I wait for your salvation, Lord, and I follow your commands
.
Psalm 130:5
I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope.

Psalm 130:6
I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.

Beautiful words from Scriptures! Thanks for sharing them!

 

[WaitingForJesus]

Thank you for sharing these. I went through this for a long while. Notice my CAF name! This is my favorites scripture on waiting. God bless you.

Isaiah 30:18 - Yet the LORD is waiting to show you favor, and he rises to pity you; For the LORD is a God of justice: blessed are all who wait for him!

 

[Classicist]

I had no idea the psalms were so frequent in their use of the term!

This puts a happier light on many of the dark nights we experience in the spiritual life. We wait constantly. Even the inspired authors, moved by God Himself, could speak in this way!

 

[Michael_Mayo]

And waiting takes patience.
Most of us live in a culture of instant gratifiction and fast food, express check out.

Waiting puts us in God’s time, at God’s disposal, not ours.

Waiting is a blessing.

Let us wait in “joyful expectation.”

IMO, there’s no better expression of a contemplative outlook on things than that of watching and waiting.

Thank you Michael!!
