Micah 7:7
Micah 7:7
Therefore I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
Usually, humans tend to have this mindset of self-sufficiency and dependence. A person's arrogant attitude can be attributed to their accomplishments, possessions, prestige, and even strong network of relationships. Our ability to create, innovate, and come up with solutions to certain problems gives us the belief that we own ourselves and can determine our outcomes in life. However, there will be a time in our lives when we are faced with insurmountable difficulties that defy who we think we are and what we associate with. We come to the realization of God’s existence and admit that we don't always have the answers. We are made to rely and depend on God for everything. He should be our first resort in times of trouble. Our hope of salvation should be in Him because it is better to place our confidence in God than in men of influence. We are to approach God for help in faith that He exists and can do what He has promised. We are sure that He will hear and answer us. Our hope in Him will help us wait on Him till the time of our salvation.
Psalm 37:34
Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt you to inherit the land.
Psalm 130:6
My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning.
Psalm 145:15
The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time.
James 5:8
Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
