Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh.
Wait at His door with prayer, at His foot with humility, at His table with service, at His window with expectancy. Earthly patrons give the cold shoulder after long waiting; your Patron is in the skies. I have found it so sweet, so reviving, so profitable to draw near to God that I myself am bound to say: Wait on the Lord.

David does not presume to enter the King's presence uncalled; he fastens his thoughts on God's invitation to the throne of grace and reverently touches the golden scepter held out to him. True worship is seeking the face of God for Himself alone, making His favor our chief good, nothing less will satisfy.

Commenting on Psalm 27:7-14
Wait on the Lord in His house and ordinances, as servants observe their master's orders, as beggars knock at Wisdom's gates. You have enemies, the corruptions of your own heart, Satan and his powers, the men of the world, yet be of good courage: God is for you, Christ is your Captain, the Spirit in you is greater than he that is in the world.
