Sometimes God makes you wait because he is building patience in your life. Waiting on God means patiently looking to Him for what we need. David recognized why we had to wait on the Lord. First, His salvation came from Him (Psalm 62:1). He learned that no one else could deliver Him. His only hope was in God for God alone hears prayers. Our prayers often revolve around asking God to hurry up and bless what we want done or want to do. But what if God’s answer to us is simply, “Be patient. Wait upon me”? We can pray with David: “Listen to my voice in the morning, Lord. Each morning I bring my requests to you and wait expectantly” (Psalm 5:3). We can trust His response, even if it doesn’t come in the time we expect.
