The act of waiting is often portrayed as a spiritual discipline that reflects a believer's faith and reliance on God's sovereignty and wisdom.<br><br><b>Old Testament References</b><br><br>The Hebrew word most commonly translated as "wait" is "qavah," which conveys a sense of hope and expectation. One of the most well-known verses is <a href="/isaiah/40-31.htm">Isaiah 40:31</a>: "But those who wait upon the LORD will renew their strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not faint." This passage highlights the strength and renewal that come from waiting on the Lord, emphasizing that divine timing leads to spiritual empowerment.<br><br>In the Psalms, waiting is frequently associated with trust in God's deliverance and timing. <a href="/psalms/27-14.htm">Psalm 27:14</a> encourages believers: "Wait patiently for the LORD; be strong and courageous. Wait patiently for the LORD." Here, waiting is linked with courage and strength, suggesting that it is an active, rather than passive, endeavor.<br><br><b>New Testament References</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the Greek word "apekdechomai" is often used to describe waiting with eager anticipation. <a href="/romans/8-25.htm">Romans 8:25</a> states, "But if we hope for what we do not yet see, we wait for it patiently." This verse underscores the idea that waiting is intertwined with hope and faith in the unseen promises of God.<br><br>The parable of the ten virgins in <a href="/matthew/25.htm">Matthew 25:1-13</a> illustrates the importance of being prepared while waiting for the bridegroom, symbolizing Christ. The wise virgins who were ready when the bridegroom arrived exemplify the vigilance and readiness that should accompany waiting.<br><br><b>Theological Implications</b><br><br>Waiting in the biblical sense is not merely a passive state but an active expression of faith. It involves trusting in God's perfect timing and His plans, which are often beyond human understanding. The act of waiting can refine character, build perseverance, and deepen one's relationship with God.<br><br>The Bible presents waiting as a test of faith, where believers are called to remain steadfast and hopeful, even in the face of uncertainty or delay. This is evident in the lives of biblical figures such as Abraham, who waited for the promise of a son, and Joseph, who waited for God's purpose to unfold through his trials.<br><br><b>Practical Application</b><br><br>For believers today, waiting on the Lord involves prayer, meditation on Scripture, and a posture of readiness to act when God directs. It requires patience and a willingness to surrender personal timelines to God's greater plan. In a world that often values immediacy, the biblical call to wait challenges Christians to cultivate a deeper trust in God's providence and timing.<br><br>In summary, the biblical concept of waiting is a multifaceted discipline that encompasses hope, trust, and active faith. It is a recurring theme throughout Scripture, encouraging believers to rely on God's promises and timing, and to find strength and renewal in the process.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

The Substantive:<br><br>The word is used in the Old Testament both as a substantive add as a verb. In the New Testament it appears as a verb only. 'erebh, ma'arabh, mean a concealed hiding-place for purposes of sudden attack, an ambuscade.<br><br>(1) "Lie in wait": "Abimelech rose up.... from lying in wait" (<a href="/judges/9-35.htm">Judges 9:35</a> the King James Version); "When they.... abide in the covert to lie in wait" (<a href="/job/38-40.htm">Job 38:40</a>).<br><br>(2) "Lay wait": "They compassed him in, and laid wait for him" (<a href="/judges/16-2.htm">Judges 16:2</a>).<br><br>2. The Verb:<br><br>(1) sharath, "to serve," "to minister," to act in the capacity of servant or attendant: "These waited on the king" (<a href="/2_chronicles/17-19.htm">2 Chronicles 17:19</a>). Used especially in this sense with regard to the ceremonial service of the host: "They shall go in to wait upon the service in the work of the tent of meeting" (<a href="/numbers/8-24.htm">Numbers 8:24</a>; compare 8:25); "The Levites wait upon their business" (<a href="/2_chronicles/13-10.htm">2 Chronicles 13:10</a> the King James Version). "Wait at" occurs in the same sense in the New Testament: "They which wait at (the Revised Version (British and American) "wait upon") the altar," etc. (<a href="/1_corinthians/9-13.htm">1 Corinthians 9:13</a> the King James Version).<br><br>(2) The simple verb is used to describe the longsuffering and patience of God toward His willful people: "And therefore will Yahweh wait, that he may be gracious unto you" (<a href="/isaiah/30-18.htm">Isaiah 30:18</a>); "When the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah" (apekdechomai, <a href="/1_peter/3-20.htm">1 Peter 3:20</a>).<br><br>(3) The most important and frequent use of the word "wait," however, is to define the attitude of a soul God-ward. It implies the listening ear, a heart responsive to the wooing of God, a concentration of the spiritual faculties upon heavenly things, the patience of faith, "the earnest expectation of the creation" (<a href="/romans/8-19.htm">Romans 8:19</a>). It describes an eager anticipation and yearning for the revelation of truth and love as it is in the Father. Thus: "My soul, wait thou.... for God only" (<a href="/psalms/69-5.htm">Psalm 69:5</a>); "Our soul hath waited for Yahweh" (<a href="/psalms/33-20.htm">Psalm 33:20</a>); "Mine eyes fail while I wait for my God" (<a href="/psalms/69-3.htm">Psalm 69:3</a>); "Wait for Yahweh, and he will save thee" (<a href="/proverbs/20-22.htm">Proverbs 20:22</a>).<br><br>Also the New Testament thus: "Waiting for our adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body" (<a href="/romans/8-23.htm">Romans 8:23</a>); "For we through the Spirit by faith wait for the hope of righteousness" (<a href="/galatians/5-5.htm">Galatians 5:5</a>). From various references in the New Testament there seems to have been in the days of Jesus a sect in whose name the word "wait" played an important part. Of the aged Simeon, who met Mary and Joseph when they brought the infant Jesus to the temple, it is said that he was "waiting for (the Revised Version (British and American) "looking for") the consolation of Israel" (<a href="/luke/2-25.htm">Luke 2:25</a>), that is, he was looking for the fulfillment of the Messianic promise. Again, after our Lord's crucifixion, when Joseph of Arimathea begged for the body of Jesus, we are told that he was one of those that "waited for the kingdom of God" (prosdechomai, <a href="/mark/15-43.htm">Mark 15:43</a> the King James Version; <a href="/luke/23-51.htm">Luke 23:51</a> the King James Version). It is thought by some authorities that this implies their having belonged to the sect of the Essenes. Epiphanius associates the sect with one which he names "Gortheni," whose title is derived from a word which means "to expect."<br><br>Arthur Walwyn Evans<p><a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/4037.htm"><span class="l">4037. perimeno -- to <b>wait</b> for</span></a> <br><b>...</b> to <b>wait</b> for.
