Wanting & Waiting
Psalms 62:5 (KJV)
5My soul, wait thou upon God; for my expectation is from Him.
1. Waiting on God quiets our souls
2. Waiting on God causes submission
Psalms 25:3-5 (ESV)
3Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame; they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous. 4Make me to know your ways, O Lord; teach me your paths. 5Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.
3. Waiting on God moves us to trust Him
Psalms 25:3 (ESV)
3Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame; they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.
Psalm 25:3 (NLT)
3No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced, but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others.
4. Waiting on God is active, not passive
5. Waiting on God creates a faith-filled expectation
Psalms 62:5 (KJV)
5My soul, wait thou upon God; for my expectation is from Him.
Psalms 25:3a (ESV)
Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame...

In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.
