(Stephen Altrogge – The Blazing Center) It is not easy to wait in patience on the Lord. We want what we want right now, with no delay.
But in the Bible, it’s clear that waiting with patience is an essential part of the Christian life. As we wait, we learn to trust in God’s timing and perfect plan for our lives. In this guide, we will explore what it means to wait on the Lord with patience and how we can meet Him in the stillness of waiting.
What Does It Mean To Wait In Patience?
To wait in patience means to trust in God’s timing and plan, even when it seems like nothing is happening or going according to our own plans. It requires surrendering control and relying on God’s wisdom and sovereignty.
In Psalm 27:14, it says “Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.” This verse reminds us that waiting in patience requires strength and courage because it goes against our natural desire to have things happen on our own timeline.
