Waiting On the Lord

Have you ever had a Bible verse haunt you? You know, one that comes up repeatedly in your life through a variety of sources? One that you can't seem to escape even in the most mundane tasks? One that gives you pause each time you see it? One with a meaning you can't fully grasp but desire to understand more fully? Psalm 27:14 says, "Wait on the Lord. Be of good courage and He will strengthen your heart. Wait, I say, on the Lord." It's not complicated. It's not long. It's words don't require a dictionary. I have known about this verse for some time, but about six months ago, it came to me in a new light, and I have not been able to escape it since. I read it again yesterday, on a flip calendar in my room. You know, the ones with a verse for every day that you only turn about once a week. Yeah, I chose yesterday to turn it and read it, and was frozen by this verse again. I do not yet know what it means to "wait" on the Lord. I have tried hard to work at waiting, and I think this must give God a great smile. Afterall, isn't the whole idea of waiting, to cease my own striving and efforts and believe that He can and will work things out according to His good plan and purpose in my life? I think it must be. Waiting means that it's not about me, and I can't fix it. Waiting means believing and trusting completely and peacefully that God can and will do a better job orchestrating life that I would. Waiting means throwing myself at His mercy and believing that He will renew my strength and see that I will walk and not grow weary ... Yeah, you know that one, too. ;-) So, what do you know about waiting on the Lord? Or, what verses/concepts in scripture haunt you in a similar way these days?
