"I was glad when they said to me "Let us go up to the House of the Lord"
9 V9 I will wait for You, O You [e]his Strength;
For God is my [f]defense.
In verse 9, Psalms says I will wait.
In Verse 17, To You, O my strength, I will sing praises.
The waiting time is often the toughest time in a person's life.
A youngster who gradates and waiting for a job, the waiting is tough.
A young woman who gets married and waits for a blessing of child, the waiting is tough.
A sick person waiting to have deliverance from the sickness, the waiting is tough.
Waiting is not easy.
Waiting brings the best and the worst in a person.
A person who has selfish ambitions , in their waiting , their worst will show up.
The people in this world wait for some luck to happen, things to turn around.
But for you and me, We don't wait on things like luck, charm, etc. but we wait on God.
When you wait on God - means not taking shortcuts, not going out of the Gods will.
Waiting on God is only one option - wait on God.
But God doesnt work according to our timings our clock our expectations.
But He wants us to come on line with His timings, His clock, His Will, His Ways.
Many of us like Mary and Martha would want God to show up before lazarus died, But the Lord follows His own clock and shows up 4 days after lazarus was buried.
Isaiah 40:21
But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
During the process of waiting, what usually people does is Complaining.
James 5:7
7 Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.
The farmer sows the seed and waits for it grow.
Some people don't sow the seed, but still waits.
Usually - In waiting people tend to grumble, Complain
Your grumbling or complaining makes the Waiting longer and longer.
Not only that some make idols during waiting.
Why God Hates Idols.
Definition of Idol is an image for God to use an object of worship. The problem with that you start worshiping the object instead of God. But you will never know God.
Now when Moses went up to the mountain and people saw the Moses delayed coming down,
they could not wait any longer and said make idols?
While you have waited for this time,
32 Now when the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aaron, and said to him, “Come, make us [a]gods that shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.”
As you Wait - what we should do is V17 Worship
So what should we do while we wait, we worship.
The more you worship in waiting, you are reducing your wait time
17 V 17 To You, O my Strength, I will sing praises;
For God is my defense,
My God of mercy.
Psalm 105:
17 He sent a man before them—
Joseph—who was sold as a slave.
18 They hurt his feet with fetters,
[a]He was laid in irons.
19 Until the time that his word came to pass,
The word of the Lord tested him.
