Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the Lord. – Psalm 27:14
Your face, Lord, do I seek. – Psalm 27:8c
This psalm gives three very relevant instructions for us today:
First, wait for the Lord. There are things want to do. Place we want to go. People we want to see. But we can’t. Wait on the Lord. Don’t be impatient. Don’t be anxious. Don’t grumble and complain. Just wait on the Lord. Wait on his timing. Wait on his plan. Wait on his goodness. Wait on the Lord.
Second, be strong and courageous. There is a virus out there and financial concerns and questions about the future. Be strong and courageous. Do not fear. Do not worry. Do not freak out. Just be strong and courageous. He is our stronghold. He is our shelter. He is our salvation. Be strong and courageous.
Third, seek his face. There are distractions aplenty. Lots of things we could do. Lots of online media to engage. Seek his face. Don’t waste your time. Don’t live for something else. Don’t place your trust somewhere else. Just seek his face. He is gracious. He is beautiful. He is trustworthy. Seek his face.
Wait for the Lord. Be strong and courageous. Seek his face.
