Here is today’s Bible reading:  Exodus 17:8-19:15; Matthew 22:34-23:12; Psalm 27:7-14; Proverbs 6:27-35

Psalm 27:14 (NIV)
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.

Waiting is so hard.  We want it now. But if we always got what we wanted when we wanted it we would be spoiled, immature brats.  God is a better parent than that.  He knows we need to grow in maturity, so He requires waiting.  Specifically, He commands us to wait with our focus on Him.  While we wait, He grows us.  Don’t despise the waiting.
