(Psa 130:5 KJV) I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
(Psa 130:6 KJV) My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning.
There are times when disappointment and discouragement seem to come in like a flood. In such times, our hope is in God and in the promises of His Word. The Psalmist expresses an intense longing for God’s help. The expectation and intensity is even more than that of those who are waiting for the dark night to pass with the dawning of morning. We share that same longing during times of intense or prolonged trouble and trials. Notice in this passage that we have more than hope; we have an expectation. There is an expectant waiting and looking for His help and deliverance. Stay steady, continue to trust and expectantly wait; God’s help is as certain as the bright morning of a new day after a long night.
