What does waiting on the Lord mean?

Answered in 1 source

Waiting on the Lord signifies trusting in His timing and mercy while relying on His promises.

To wait on the Lord is to actively trust in His sovereign plans and promises, demonstrating patience amid trials. In Psalm 130, the psalmist expresses, 'My soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning.' This metaphor of vigilance illustrates a deep expectation of God’s deliverance. Waiting is not a passive activity; it involves hope and anticipation for God's intervention and blessings while acknowledging His unfailing love and faithfulness. This trust assures us that our hope in God will never be disappointing.
