The Active Nature of Waiting Upon the Lord

So many passages in Holy Scripture exhort us to "wait upon the Lord." And so many of those verses come with promises of God. Waiting on the Lord is such a vital and integral part of our daily relationship with Him. We must learn to wait upon the Lord in the mere moments of our temptations. We must wait upon the Lord in seasons of suffering and grief. Regarding Christ's healing work in our lives, mending the brokenness within us from which come our sinful actions, we must wait upon the Lord. But what does it mean to wait upon the Lord? Today we consider what Christ, through His Churc,h has revealed to us; for waiting upon the Lord is an active movement toward Him, knowing that we are always in need and He is the only One we need for deliverance, true life, and our salvation.
