Psalm 38
Daily Devotional from Psalm 38–
Verse 15
“But for you, O Lord, do I wait; it is you, O Lord my God, who will answer.”
In times of discipline, as in this chapter, and in times of sorrow, sickness, pain, suffering, frustration, or lack of understanding, we have only one option available: wait for the Lord. When it comes to waiting on the Lord, is it fun? Not really. Is it easy? No. Is it necessary? Absolutely.
I believe God uses waiting on Him as an amazing tool for spiritual growth. In waiting, we learn to trust, we learn patience, we learn self-control, and in my experience I
learn peace through hope in knowing that God will answer.
When we are in a time of waiting for something to be finished or for God to answer, we can sit back and rest in the knowledge that our circumstances will change and God will come through in His timing, not ours.
