Our culture promotes haste. I get so upset with drivers who are ahead of me at a stoplight who are looking at their phone while the light has already turned green. They have actually caused me to have to wait an extra 2.7 seconds.

King David, the Sweet Psalmist of Israel, often extolled the virtue of waiting … “on the Lord.” He discovered that as he was “waiting” on the Lord, he was accumulating rather than diminishing.

When we put air in our tires, we put the hose on the valve and wait. The tire is gaining air in the process. As we pray and wait upon the Lord, we are getting filled.

“Wait on the Lord. Be of good courage and He shall strengthen thine heart. Wait, I say, on the Lord.” [Ps. 27:14]
