Psalm 27:14
God's Training Course for Strong and Courageous Waiters!
Welcome, Faith Force Courageous Waiters! Today, we’re learning how to wait for God with strength and courage instead of worry and impatience, as shared in Psalm 27:14.
Verse Of The Day:
"Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." (Psalm 27:14)
Have you ever planted a seed and then checked it every day wondering why it hasn’t grown yet? Waiting can be really hard, but God teaches us how to wait the right way!
The psalmist says “Wait for the Lord” – but this isn’t just sitting around doing nothing. It’s active, purposeful waiting that trusts God is working even when we can’t see it yet. Then comes the amazing instruction: “be strong and take heart.” This means while we wait, we stay strong and keep our courage up instead of getting worried or scared.
Notice the verse says “wait for the Lord” twice – that’s how important this is! God wants us to learn that His timing is always perfect, even when it doesn’t feel like it. When we wait with strength and courage, we’re showing that we trust God completely. Just like a gardener who plants seeds and waits patiently knowing the harvest will come, we can wait for God’s answers with strong, courageous hearts!
Wait with Strength Garden:
Plant seeds in a small pot (beans or sunflowers work great!) and create your “Wait with Strength Garden.” Make a plant marker that says “Wait for the Lord – Be Strong and Take Heart!” Place it in your pot and water your seeds. Each day while you wait for them to sprout, practice saying the verse and remember that God is working even when you can’t see it yet. Keep a “Waiting Journal” next to your pot where you write down things you’re waiting for God to do, and practice being strong and taking heart while you wait!
Time For A Prayer:
Dear Lord, help us learn to wait for You with strength and courage! When we want answers right away, remind us that Your timing is always perfect. Give us strong hearts while we wait, and help us trust that You're working even when we can't see it. Thank You for being worth waiting for with all our strength and courage! Amen.
Keep waiting with strength and courage, Faith Force Courageous Waiters! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember to wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart, and wait for the Lord!
