Psalm 130:5 I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope.
We reach the final day and find ourselves back in the Psalms with a verse that is not using the word patient within it but clearly speaks of it. So we end the month with a reminder from David of just what our own patience should look like. Let’s take a look and see what we can learn from this man after God’s heart. (Note: The author is actually anonymous but it is often assigned to David for his repentant heart after his various transgressions.)
The word used for wait in this case is qavah, often written in the form of qivviti (I wait). It indicates one who waits with eager expectation or hope. It is not a passive process of waiting. This term can also mean to twist together, suggesting a deep connection with God while waiting. It is this active waiting upon God and trusting in Him that we interpret as patience.
The author (or David) says, “I wait for the Lord, my WHOLE BEING waits…” He waits with everything he has, everything he is. He is actively waiting and anticipating what God is going to bring (and from the context we know that he was seeking forgiveness after having repented). Have you ever wanted something so badly that you can almost taste it? That you long for it with every fiber of your being? That is the waiting that the psalmist speaks of here - wholly and totally waiting with every ounce of who he was.
But this wasn’t a wishful thinking type of waiting. It was a trusting wait. Patience in the season of waiting on the God Who provides with full trust that He WILL. He ended with, “...in his word I put my hope.” He knew that God was a faithful Father, One who wants what is good for us, One who gives grace and mercy in abundance. In His word was where the psalmist’s hope was. The Word as we know it was not in existence yet, the New Testament not even written yet. But the Israelites put their hope in God and His words - His promises.
We wrap up the month with a simple question - where do you put your hope in the waiting seasons? Have patience, friends, and know that He has a plan. Put your hope in Him and what He offers, knowing He loves you and wants what is best for your life.
