What does it mean to "wait upon the Lord?" In what ways are you "Waiting" in your life right now? Waiting on the Lord doesn't mean a passive passing of time, but rather a chance to grow and reflect. And we are not expected or required to slap on a happy smile through the waiting process either. It is ok to be sad, it is ok to hurt. Waiting means turning to the Lord to comfort your hurt as you are hoping for your miracle.
