My Soul Waits for the Lord

Genesis Church - Sermons

We aren’t very good at waiting. Actually, in the technological age, we are awful at it. We don’t have to wait for anything. The answers to our questions are a click away, if we want stuff we have websites that will get it to us in our sleep, and if we are bored there are a myriad of screen options that can solve boredom quickly. But maybe being bored and having to wait on things actually produces something good for our character and lives. Interestingly enough, God seems to want us to wait on Him. Psalm 130 is a cry from the depths, from a place of darkness, pain, and unanswered questions. From the depths, God seems to be silent … He does not answer as fast as Google. So, the Psalmist makes the declaration to wait for the Lord, to hope in Him when the outcome is not clear. Furthermore, the song gives a corporate exhortation to wait and hope in the Lord. This amazing song reminds God’s people that waiting on the Lord is a very good thing, because we wait knowing that God is forgiving, He loves us, and that the morning will eventually come.
