Waitting

Psalm 33:20 "Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and shield"

There is a sense that everyone is always waiting on something.  Nervously waiting on the results of a test, waiting for that right person to come along in your life, waiting on a phone call, waiting on a job offer, waiting on someone to change, waiting on your self to change, waiting for your dreams to come true.  But what does it feel like to wait for the Lord.  Just being still, listening, feeling, and waiting on the Lord.

Psalm 33 continues to say, "Our hear is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name.  Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us even as we hope in you"  (Psalm 33:21-22).  Waiting is not always about getting results, but rather, feeling the spirit of the Lord move with in our heart.  Feeling the spirit of the Lord bring us overwhelming peace and gladness.

I pray today that we all might take the time to wait upon the Lord.  To feel the gentle tug of God on our heart.  To feel the overwhelming peace God in our life.  Even if it is just for a moment, that one moment with God means everything to a restless heart that is waiting.

Be still..and...wait
