Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. Psalms 27:14

This verse lands with such steady, quiet power. It’s one of those scriptures that doesn’t rush you, doesn’t pressure you, it simply invites you to breathe again. Not passive waiting. Not helpless waiting.
It’s the kind of waiting that leans forward with expectation the kind that says, “God is moving even when I can’t see it yet. “Be of good courage.” Courage isn’t something we muster up alone. It’s something God meets in us. You take one step of courage, and He strengthens your heart for the next. He shall strengthen thine heart.” Not might. Not if you’re good enough. Not if everything works out first. He shall. It’s a certainty, not a suggestion. “Wait, I say, on the LORD.” It’s like God knows we hear it once, but we need to feel it twice.

Almost as if He’s saying: “Don’t run ahead. Don’t give up. Stay with Me. I’m already working.”
