What does it mean to wait upon God as expressed in the Psalms?
Answered in 1 source
Waiting upon God is an active, expectant posture of prayer and hope in His timing and provision.
In Psalm 62:1, David states, 'My soul waits in silence for God only; from Him is my salvation.' To wait upon God is to engage in a lively exercise of hope, where believers actively seek Him through prayer and trust in His divine timing. This expectation differs from passive waiting; it embodies a spirit of anticipation and reliance on God's promises. David exemplifies this in both Psalms, reflecting a deep understanding that true strength and deliverance come from God alone. As believers wait, they cultivate patience and learn to lean on God as their source of strength, peace, and guidance.
