Waiting Well: Strength, Courage, and God’s Timing | Psalm 27:14

6:44

About This Video

“Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” Waiting isn’t weakness, it’s strength under tension. In this teaching, we explore the Hebrew depth of qavah (to wait with eager expectancy / to twist tight like a cord), why delay is often God’s furnace of preparation, and how to lead, love, and work with courage when progress seems invisible. You’ll get a practical framework to transform delay into formation, spiritually, relationally, and professionally. Value in one line: Waiting isn’t lost time, it’s formation time. Takeaways Waiting ≠ inactivity; it’s intentional preparation. Qavah = hope pulled tight, alignment, expectancy, resilience. Courage is required to pause; impatience is what actually steals progress. Delay can filter distractions and refine direction. “Even when we are waiting, God is working.” Subscribe for weekly teachings on the spiritual side of business and life, then name your current “gap,” and choose one brave practice to wait well this week. What’s the “gap” you’re waiting in, and what practice (pray/prepare/serve/listen) will anchor you this week?
