Micah 7:7-8
7 Therefore I will look unto the LORD: I will WAIT for the God of my salvation: my God will hear me.
Strong's definitions:-
"Look" –"to lean forward, i.e., to peer into the distance…"
"Wait" – "to be patient, hope, be pained…"
I am LOOKING for You, Lord, just like I look for my dear husband when he is LATE in the evening, and I don't know where he is. I sometimes run outside and lean forwards and peer into the distance down the road. Each roaring and crackling of the gravel a half a mile away brings me hope that it is he, but alas, many times the car comes and goes, and he whom my soul loves is still far away… somewhere…I do not know where. Still I LOOK…still I WAIT! Patiently, HOPING, and "pained" in my heart…still I WAIT! And... he DOES finally COME! Yes! Yes! And I run out to greet him, wrapping my arms around his neck…so relieved that I still have a STRONG ONE to look after and take care of me.
And I will WAIT for You, O God of my salvation! You hear me even now calling in my pain…for YOU, too! You WILL COME! Hallelujah! YOU WILL COME!
8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a LIGHT unto me.
Rejoice not against me, SATAN, O mine enemy! Hallelujah! I will WIN this battle through my Lord Jesus Christ!
When I fall, I shall ARISE through You, Lord! When I am cast down, You shall lift me up! I shall continue and accomplish the work that You have for me here to do until it is my TIME to go. You will help me to ENDURE! When I sit in DARKNESS and misery…when sorrow and
SICKNESS are heavy upon me, YOU shall be a LIGHT unto me, O Lord! You are my BRIGHT and MORNING STAR shining through the darkness of my life! And when I FALL ultimately in death and Satan thinks he has the victory, I shall ARISE and LIVE FOREVER with You! Hallelujah! Amen!
