Waiting In Confidence

Waiting can be one of the hardest parts of life. Zechariah and Elizabeth waited years for a child, and when God finally answered through an angel, Zechariah’s response was, “How can I be sure?” Waiting wore down his confidence—just like it does for us.

But Psalm 27 shows us a different way to wait: with confidence in God. David declares, “The Lord is my light, my salvation, and my stronghold.” Even in the tension of waiting for deliverance, David trusted God fully.

How can we wait like David?
1️⃣ Seek God’s presence—desire Him above all else.
2️⃣ Behold His beauty—fix your eyes on the character of Jesus.
3️⃣ Follow His guidance—let God’s Word lead, not fear or worry.
4️⃣ Keep talking—stay close to God, even when the waiting feels heavy.

This Advent season reminds us: the same God who ended Zechariah’s waiting and sent Jesus as Israel’s Messiah will meet us in our waiting. Through Christ, God is our light in the darkness, our salvation in trouble, and our stronghold in every storm.

“Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart.” – Psalm 27:14 

Whatever you’re waiting for, you can trust that God is with you. Keep seeking Him, and let His presence restore your confidence.
