Psalm 123- Confident Waiting

 “I lift my eyes to you, the one enthroned in heaven. Like a servant’s eyes on his master’s hand, like a servant girl’s eyes on her mistress’s hand, so our eyes are on the Lord our God until he shows us favor. Show us favor, Lord, show us favor, for we’ve had more than enough contempt. We’ve had more than enough scorn from the arrogant and contempt from the proud.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭123‬:‭1‬-‭4‬ ‭CSB‬‬

Read Context

God!?!…waiting is hard!  Lord…why must we wait so long for Your hand to work?  I know that I am wholly dependent on You in everything.  I wish that You would answer instantly and completely…remind me that I know better!  Most of Your work is completed in our waiting.  Help me to be content in the midst of Your working, my waiting.  Help me to rest in the confidence of Your perfectly timed work!
