Introduction
- Have you ever in a situation whereby you were at the lowest pit of your life, and you had been praying days and night to God yet it seemed like He either did not care or too busy to care?

A. WAITING IN HOPE
i. WAIT PATIENTLY קָוָה qâvâh
- to bind together (perhaps by twisting), to expect, look, patiently, wait (for, on, upon).
- Hence the qavah qavah means the Father in heaven equally eager keen to meet us!

ii. HE INCLINED נָטָה nâṭâh
- to stretch or spread out; Deliver, offer, outstretched.
- He was here all these while to deliver us, to offer His help with an outstretched arm!

iii. HEARD my cry שָׁמַע shâma‛
- to hear intelligently (often with implication of attention, obedience, etc.; causatively to tell, etc.
- It was like even before we pray, or even before we cry out to Him, He was already stretched out His arms to us!

B. WAITING IN VICTORY
i. Worship - Towards God
- Before we can even taste victory in our wait, we must FIRST learn to ALWAYS come to God, WORSHIPPING and PRAISING HIM FIRST!
- This time of waiting is an opportunity to encounter God.

ii. Advocate – Towards others
- Equally difficult to practice. Question; is it more difficult to serve others when you are in a difficult time or when you are in good time?
- This time of waiting as a preparation for greater things to come.

iii. Introspect – Towards self
- Not all trials were caused by our sins! However, our difficult situations could have caused by our sins.
- This time of waiting as a reflection, repentance and realignment.

iv. Trash – Towards the enemy
- We must first deal with our priorities, put things in order first before we have the power to fight back the enemy.
- This time of waiting as a time to reclaim back your lost and be triumphant.

CONCLUSION
- Waiting upon the Lord is not a passive nor frustrating moment but rather a moment full of hope.
- Let us be like King David, victorious even during the moment of waiting.
