Wait on the Lord, Chick!

“Wait for the Lord; Be strong, and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord.”
Psalm 27:14


Waiting feels impossible, doesn’t it? In this instant gratification world we live in, we “want it all- and we want it now,” as the Queen song goes.

Waiting- what’s the point?

But could it be that there’s timing to whatever we’re waiting impatiently for? If we get ahead of the blessing, could we mess it up?

Perhaps God has a bigger surprise in store for us. Ever a part of a surprise party for someone? The whole purpose of it is to catch the surprise-e by surprise. It’s all the more happy when the blessing is unexpected, after all.

We can be like one of these two chicks here.


We can get ahead of the blessing, perhaps even looking foolish in the process. Or, we can wait.
There is a favorite quotes. “God’s answers to our prayers are ‘yes,’ ‘not yet’ or ‘I have something better in mind.’”

Whatever we’re waiting for, let’s look at it from that perspective.
Wait on the Lord, Lil' Chick!
