(Psalms 29:14) (Psalms 37:1-11, 17-24, 34, 39-40,)
· “Wait patiently for the LORD. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the LORD.
· Don’t worry about the wicked. Don’t envy those who do wrong. For like grass, they soon fade away. Like springtime flowers, they soon wither.
· Trust in the LORD and do good. Then you will live safely in the land and prosper.
· Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you your heart’s desires.
· Commit everything you do to the LORD.
· Trust him, and he will help you. He will make your innocence as clear as the dawn, and the justice of your cause will shine like the noonday sun.
· Be still in the presence of the LORD, and wait patiently for him to act.
· Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes.
· Stop your anger! Turn from your rage!
· Do not envy others — it only leads to harm.
· For the wicked will be destroyed, but those who trust in the LORD will possess the land. In a little while, the wicked will disappear. Though you look for them, they will be gone.
· Those who are gentle and lowly will possess the land; they will live in prosperous security.
· The strength of the wicked will be shattered, but the LORD takes care of the godly.
· Day by day the LORD takes care of the innocent, and they will receive a reward that lasts forever. They will survive through hard times; even in famine they will have more than enough.
· But the wicked will perish. The Lord’s enemies are like flowers in a field — they will disappear like smoke.
· The wicked borrow and never repay, but the godly are generous givers.
· Those blessed by the LORD will inherit the land, but those cursed by him will die.
· The steps of the godly are directed by the LORD. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will not fall, for the LORD holds them by the hand.”
· Don’t be impatient for the LORD to act! Travel steadily along his path. He will honor you, giving you the land. You will see the wicked destroyed.
· The LORD saves the godly; he is their fortress in times of trouble. The LORD helps them, rescuing them from the wicked. He saves them, and they find shelter in him.”
(Isaiah 30:18) (Isaiah 40:31) (Lamentations 3:20-26)
· “But the LORD still waits for you to come to him so he can show you his love and compassion. For the LORD is a faithful God. Blessed are those who wait for him to help them.”
· “But those who wait on the LORD will find new strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.”
· I will never forget this awful time, as I grieve over my loss. Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this:
· The unfailing love of the LORD never ends!
· By his mercies we have been kept from complete destruction. Great is his faithfulness;
his mercies begin afresh each day.
· I say to myself, “The LORD is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!”
· The LORD is wonderfully good to those who wait for him and seek him.
· So it is good to wait quietly for salvation from the LORD.”
