Daily Devotional – Tuesday, November 10, 2026
My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation. He is my defense. I shall not be moved.
Psalm 62:5–6 (NKJV)
Waiting can wear you down. You pray, make plans, check for answers, and still nothing seems to change. After a while, you start wondering whether God has heard you at all. David was familiar with that feeling. He was in the midst of trouble, but he brought his restless heart back to God. Instead of letting fear control him, he hung on to his source of hope: God.
What Are You Doing While You Wait?
The psalmist was making a choice about where to place his expectation. His circumstances could change from one day to the next, but God would remain the same. That was enough for him to wait quietly. He did not need to know exactly what would happen next before he could trust the One who knows the future.
Sometimes the hardest part of waiting is not the delay itself, but not knowing what comes next. We want answers, dates, explanations, and some sign that things are moving. David had none of those things. What he had was God. He called Him his rock, salvation, and defense. When everything around him felt uncertain, David knew where to put his hope and trust.
When You Are Tired of Waiting
No believer is a stranger to this experience. A prayer remains unanswered, a door stays closed, or a situation refuses to change. We can spend so much energy trying to make things happen that we miss the peace God gives us while we wait. Waiting on God means remaining faithful without letting uncertainty control us or influence us to make rash decisions.
If you are waiting for something today, don’t stop presenting your expectations to God. You may not know when the answer will come or what form it will take, but you can be sure that God holds you while you wait. Let Him be your rock when your plans feel uncertain. You do not need to understand everything before you can trust Him with the present and the future.
Prayer
Almighty God, teach me to wait for You without fear or frustration. Help me trust Your timing and remain steady when I cannot see what lies ahead.
Amen
God bless you, Frank.
