10 mins a day, closer to God.
This verse expresses a profound sense of trust and hope in God. The psalmist reflects on the deep longing of the soul for God's intervention, but there is no anxiety in this waiting. Instead, it is a waiting anchored in hope, knowing that God is trustworthy. It serves as a reminder that when we wait on the Lord, we do not wait in vain. Our hope is not in our own efforts or in external circumstances, but in God’s faithfulness to fulfill His promises. This verse calls us to place our trust completely in God, understanding that He is our ultimate hope and the source of our strength during times of uncertainty. Waiting on God requires patience and faith, as it often challenges our human tendency to take control. However, when we place our hope in Him, we will find that He is faithful, and His timing is perfect.
