wait, with strength and courage

For those who come to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

I wait for the LORD, my soul does wait,
And in His word do I hope.
My soul waits for the Lord
More than the watchmen for the morning;
Indeed, more than the watchmen for the morning.

We’re waiting. Not quietly, not silently. We’re persistent. We’re standing at His throne, eyes fixed on Him, saying, “Now, Lord? Now? Now, Lord? We need You, Lord. Lord? We need You.”

He doesn’t get annoyed by that. Rather, that’s the sort of waiting that He’s looking for, that He responds to.

And so:

I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD
In the land of the living.
Wait for the LORD;
Be strong and let your heart take courage;
Yes, wait for the LORD.
