Sermon Text: Psalms 130:5 - I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope;
Sermon Title: “Wait!”
Point 1: The weight of waiting – vs. 1,2 - Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord! 2 O Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy!
Point 2: The worry and wonder of waiting – vs. 3-4 - If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? 4 But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared.
Whatever a man thinketh so is he Proverbs 23:7 - for as he thinks within himself, so he is. (ISV) Out of your heart flow the issues of life you are dealing with Proverbs 4:23 - Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts. (GNT) That’s why your mind will control your worry. Psalms 94:11 - The LORD knows what we think; he knows how senseless our reasoning is. (GNT)
