… Wait for the Lord and he will save you. Next one, Psalm 130, verse five. I will wait for the Lord, and then he declares, my soul waits, and in his word, I do hope. Psalm 25 verse 3. Indeed, let no one who waits on you be ashamed. Let those be ashamed who deal treacherously without a cause.

There's a leaning in to when will he arrive, and what will he do, and how will he bring me out of this? He's coming. I know he's coming. He's going to come at the right time. He's going to bring the right deliverance, and I'm waiting humbly because I don't deserve anything better than this, and I'm waiting hopefully because he's a good father. That's the posture of waiting. The king's pit, the king's cry, the king's patience, and now the king's rescue. Verse two, he drew me up from the pit of destruction out of the miry bog and set my feet upon a rock making my steps secure. …
