Episode 573: Wait on the Lord

Check out our new website featuring a resource based on our most recent series: 30 Days to a Happy New You.

In the Psalms, Proverbs, and many other books of the Bible, we find commands to wait on the Lord” like this one in Psalm 27:14, “Wait on the LORD: Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: Wait, I say, on the LORD.” Most modern translations use the phrase “wait for the Lord.” To those reading this text in English, the idea of waiting on the Lord might seem like a passive exercise, but a closer study reveals that it’s nothing of the sort. We explore this idea more deeply in today’s episode.

Additional scriptures referenced include Psalm 27 in its entirety; 1 John 5:14; Psalm 40:1-3; Isaiah 64:4; 1 Corinthians 1:7; Romans 8:28; and Isaiah 40:31.
