Wait for the Lord. Again wait for the Lord.

"I believe that I shall see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord with courage;
be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord." (Psalm 27: 13 - 14).

Are you waiting for any favors from the Lord? Any promises to be fulfilled by God? If you are not, why not?  Are you self satisfied and feel you have everything you need from life?  "Man's extremity is God's opportunity. Man's prosperity is Satan's opportunity," says an adage.

Our Scripture verse from the Responsorial Psalm 27 urge us to develop a habit of waiting for the Lord because it is in waiting for the Lord that we come to learn that the Lord is faithful. The Psalmist exclaimed in wonderment at God's faithfulness:  "Your faithful promises are my armor and protection." (Psalm 91: 4).

I have found that life is made up of a series of waiting: waiting for small things and waiting for the big items. We are all waiting all the time. This is life. No one is excused from waiting. Another word to wait is hope. We wait for the Second Coming of Jesus. We rejoice in Hope for this.

Let your waiting be strengthened by the unfailing promise of God:
"I believe that I shall see the bounty of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord with courage;
be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord."
