You lost me at, “I waited patiently…” Waiting patiently is not a strong suit of mine. Yet, when what we are waiting on is the work of the Lord, we are never disappointed. In general, when something is happening, we like to do something. We like to feel useful and impactful. But what the Psalmist is telling us is that it is first important to wait. Why? What are we waiting on? Waiting takes great restraint and an attentive ear. When that is what we are giving to God, the wait will pay off in the end, as we won’t then be wasting our time but doing what is good and right. So, I say, “Wait patiently on the Lord.”
