“Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.

Psalm 27:14

It is hard to wait, isn’t it?  I mean we have become a society where we want everything now but idea, the concept of waiting in the bible is really the idea of being twisted together, like braiding your hair or tying a boat to a cleat at a dock. 

If you pull a boat up to the side of a dock, the current and the wind will push it all over the place but if we tightly wrap and intertwine the line around the cleat, it will remain securely where it is supposed to be. 

To wait on the Lord is to wrap or intertwine our lives with and within the Lord, that we will find security, courage, and shelter.  To wrap ourselves in the Lord means we do not look outside the Lord in our problems.  It doesn’t mean that we do nothing, it means that we go to God and seek his help to find stability and security in our lives.

When we wrap, intertwine ourselves in God’s presence we will find that we are no longer blown around by the situations and circumstances of life but that we will find stability, courage, and peace in all our situations in life.

I would encourage you to pray about the big tings that we are struggling to resolve, talk to a friend about who is also a believe in Jesus about what’s going on and keep a journal, write down what you are trusting God with, then refer back often.

Prayer: “Lord God, thank you for today, help me to seek you in all aspects of my life, let me intertwine my very being with you that in all things I may find stability and security.  Hold me firmly and guide me gently in you will and in your ways.  Amen”
