David wanted to know the Lord’s way. In Psalm 25:4-5 he prayed, “Show me Your ways, O Lord; teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; on You I wait all the day.”

Waiting is a trial all its own. It is God’s way to wait. I love 2 Samuel 5:24. King David was instructed to wait. Once he heard what the Lord wanted him to hear he could advance. 

David wrote about waiting in Psalm 27:14. It says, “Wait on the Lord; be of good courage and He will strengthen your heart; wait I say on the Lord!”

Job made a great statement when he couldn’t perceive the Lord. Job 23:10 says, “But He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.”

The way of man is to please himself, but the way of the redeemed is to walk in His ways. Colossians 1:10 says, “That you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him…”
