Scripture Meditation No. 1581

“I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.” (Psalm 40:1, KJV)
As human beings, we often desire that our heartfelt wishes be fulfilled immediately. We expect God to respond to our prayers right away and make us joyful. But not always does God answer us according to our timeline. Many times, He expects patience from us — because this waiting strengthens our faith.
God gave Abraham a promise, but he had to wait nearly twenty-five years to see it fulfilled and rejoice. Joseph endured many hardships and waited about 13 years before the royal honour God had shown him in a dream came true. Yes, when he was 17 years old, he was tending the flock with his brothers (Genesis 37:2), and by the time he stood before Pharaoh, he was 30 years old (Genesis 41:46).
David too was elevated to be the king of Israel only after enduring many struggles. Because of these personal experiences, he could declare in today’s meditation verse,
“I waited patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.” (Psalm 40:1, KJV)
Because of the urge for instant promotion, some resort to shortcuts. For example, a few seek job promotions through bribery. Likewise, shortcuts seem attractive to many in the pursuit of government awards and prizes. But even though they may achieve their desired status, they often end up being joyless in life.
There is a God-appointed time for everything. That’s why the Apostle Peter exhorts us:
“Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.” (1 Peter 5:6, KJV)
Yes, beloved, the promotion appointed for us will surely come — and only from God. Shortcuts provide only temporary happiness.
Many parents become troubled and distressed when their children's marriages are delayed. Dear ones, let us surrender our children to God in prayer. Surely, He will turn our waiting into joy. The Lord will not forsake those who wait for Him. Indeed, He will bless our children with a life far better than what we ever imagined.
Sometimes, waiting may bring sorrow. But the Bible says:
“Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.” (Proverbs 13:12, KJV)
Let us wait patiently for the Lord.
“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31, KJV)
