waiting on god

³¹But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will take up wings like eagles. They will run and not struggle. They will walk and not tire.

²⁵TETH. The Lord is good to those who hope in him, to the soul that seeks him.

¹³I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord in the land of the living. ¹⁴Wait for the Lord, act manfully; and let your heart be strengthened, and remain with the Lord.

¹⁸Therefore, the Lord waits, so that he may take pity on you. And therefore, he will be exalted for sparing you. For the Lord is the God of judgment. Blessed are all those who wait for him.

⁵Have confidence in the Lord with all your heart, and do not depend upon your own prudence. ⁶In all your ways, consider him, and he himself will direct your steps.

⁷Therefore, be patient, brothers, until the advent of the Lord. Consider that the farmer anticipates the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently, until he receives the early and the late rains. ⁸Therefore, you too should be patient and should strengthen your hearts. For the advent of the Lord draws near.

¹⁴Wait for the Lord, act manfully; and let your heart be strengthened, and remain with the Lord.

⁷But I will look towards the Lord. I will wait for God, my Savior. My God will hear me.

⁹The Lord is not delaying his promise, as some imagine, but he does act patiently for your sake, not wanting anyone to perish, but wanting all to be turned back to penance.

⁵My soul has hoped in the Lord. ⁶From the morning watch, even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.

⁷Be subject to the Lord and pray to him. Do not choose to compete with him who prospers in his way, with the man who does injustice.

⁶Yet, truly, my soul will be subject to God. For from him is my patience.

³And not only that, but we also find glory in tribulation, knowing that tribulation exercises patience, ⁴and patience leads to proving, yet truly proving leads to hope,

³⁴Wait for the Lord, and keep to his way. And he will exalt you, so as to inherit the land that you may seize. When the sinners will have passed away, then you shall see.

²⁰Our soul remains with the Lord. For he is our helper and protector. ²¹For in him, our heart will rejoice, and in his holy name, we have hoped. ²²Let your mercy be upon us, O Lord, just as we have hoped in you.

¹¹Consider that we beatify those who have endured. You have heard of the patient suffering of Job. And you have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is merciful and compassionate.

⁴From ages past, they have not heard it, and they have not perceived it with the ears. Apart from you, O God, the eye has not seen what you have prepared for those who await you.
