Wait With Confidence

How do you wait?  Do you watch the clock, or tap your foot, or twiddle your thumbs?  David wrote, "I waited patiently and expectantly for the LORD." (Psalm 40:1a).  The Hebrew verb "to wait" expresses a confident trust or faith in the Lord. We can track a package with a guaranteed delivery - see it is shipped and out for delivery - but we do not track God: we trust God. David waited patiently with confidence, knowing for certain his salvation comes only from Almighty God. He knew it is the Lord Who sets his feet upon a rock and steadies his footsteps and establishes his path (V.2).  Furthermore, waiting with such confidence in God "many will see and fear and will trust confidently in the Lord." (V.3b).  A personal confidence produces a personal testimony!  Is this how you are waiting?
