Psalm 25:3 – Waiting
Psalms 25:3 (CSB) No one who waits for You will be disgraced; those who act treacherously without cause will be disgraced – If we see two groups of people, we see correctly. However, if we only see that the first group will not be disgraced…then we are missing an important reality that many ignore. Some ignore it based upon false religion or theology. The two realities for the first group are: 1) Those who trust God will not be disgraced; 2) Those who trust God must wait until that time they will not be disgraced. It is the last part that is necessary for us to see also, or else we will not endure. The pleasant end is not the only reality. Waiting is often filled with much disgrace from those who act treacherously without cause. Unfortunately local congregations are filled with such people too, as is obviously the world (which the treacherous “church people” are also part of). They will get their “reward.” But in the mean time we have to suffer while we wait. But so did our Lord. So don’t give up while waiting. The reward is grace!
