Bible verse
Psalm 27:14
“Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.”
What it means
Waiting can feel like weakness, but here it becomes an act of courage. To keep hoping when nothing has changed yet is not passivity; it is trust with its face turned toward God. The heart is told to be strong precisely because the wait is hard. Jesus waited too, all the way to a cross and an empty tomb, and He proves that God is never late. Your season of holding on is not wasted. Take heart, and keep looking up.
