Worth Waiting For

Psalm 25:1-5

English Standard Version (ESV)

Of David.

25 To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
² O my God, in you I trust;
    let me not be put to shame;
    let not my enemies exult over me.
³ Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame;
    they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.

⁴ Make me to know your ways, O Lord;
    teach me your paths.
⁵ Lead me in your truth and teach me,
    for you are the God of my salvation;
    for you I wait all the day long.

At times life brings me down.  I don’t know about you but sometimes it seems like I just can’t get a break.  Have you ever felt that way?  At those times I seem to get down on myself or I feel sorry for myself.  Those are the times I need to meditate on these verses!  My trust should never be on what “I” can do but what God can do through me.

 

In those rough times I need to remember to put my trust in Him and wait for Him.  I seem to think that I deserve better but I cannot get any better than to have Him on my side and by my side.  My whole being should be focused on Him and not on me.  During those times I need to pray verse 5, “Lead me in YOUR truth and teach me” and I need to remember that whatever the Lord has in store is worth waiting for.  

 

As you seek Him remember that this life is not our home.  Someday when we are in the presence of our Lord and Savior, we will say, “Now this was worth waiting for!”

 

Seeking Him with all my heart,
