Over the past week or so I have spent a lot of time thinking about what it means to wait upon the Lord. Often when I think of this it involves quietly, patiently sitting. I think it often is used as though we are not to do anything until we know that He is telling us.
Well, later I was reading in Matthew 8 when Jesus heals Peter's mother-in-law. After she is healed, she gets up and waits on the Lord. In this context, wait means to serve.
I am intrigued by this word and am not through studying about waiting. Perhaps there will be more thoughts on this subject at a later time. Here are lyrics to a great song:
Everlasting God - Lincoln Brewster
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord
We will wait upon the Lord
Our God, You reign forever
Our hope, our Strong Deliverer
You are the everlasting God
The everlasting God
You do not faint
You won’t grow weary
Our God, You reign forever
Our hope, our Strong Deliverer
You are the everlasting God
The everlasting God
You do not faint
You won’t grow weary
You’re the Defender of the weak
You comfort those in need
You lift us up on wings like eagles
