Psalms 27:14 Wait for the LORD; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the LORD.
Living life daily can take a toll on you. You have ebbs and tides; you are up and you are down. You want to believe God, but circumstances fight you along the way. Sometimes you want to give up and sometimes you think there is no way you can be defeated. Through all of these times, there is only one thing that is necessary--to wait on the Lord!
Why should you wait, tarry, expect, and look eagerly for the Lord? You have been bound to Him and you can make no moves or decisions without Him. Jehovah wants you to become like Him, who has existed throughout eternity. The Lord wants to give you the desire of your heart, but often you have to wait to see those desires accomplished.
Even though your spirit is alive unto God, you live in a fleshly body, which is limited and living by faith sometimes takes effort. Whether you are at high tide or low, the Lord wants you to grow stronger, become more firm and resolute. However, you cannot do this on your own. You need to wait on the Lord to sustain you and make you secure. As you look to Him, He will restore and repair what is broken, so that you can prevail in the good times and the bad.
The Lord strengthens your heart, your mind, your will, and your emotions. Your inclination, resolution, and determination are made stronger, as you spend time in the presence of the Lord, waiting for and expecting Him to help you. You become courageous, bold, stout, and brave.
