Waiting on the Lord
Friday, March 16, 2018
The psalmist writes in Psalm 27:14, “Wait on the Lord; be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the Lord.” David, in this exhortation, is not exhorting others, but himself to wait! David knew already what it meant to wait for the Lord. At the age of 16 he was anointed to be king, but did not become king until he was 30. During that in between time he was hunted by King Saul who was jealous of the laud and honor David received. David had to learn to wait on God for the fulfillment of his promise to reign.
