Wednesday Word-Waiting

When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.” Psalm 27:8 (NKJV)

Trials are tough. Waiting is hard. Sometimes we make these situations even harder on ourselves by how we wait in God. Here David says he will seek God’s face. In middle of our trials we should be seeking God more and more. Too often we get caught up in just wanting our situation to be over. Everything God puts us through, however, is for a reason and it has a purpose.

Seek Christ in the midst of what you’re going through. Don’t focus on the problem, but seek God’s wisdom. Figure out the reason God is letting you be tested. Jesus wants everything you go through to be a means of bringing you closer to Him. He is not just putting you through something just because. He wants you to come out stronger, wiser, and better than before. Seek God’s face. Trust that He has a plan. Wait on the Lord.
