My soul waits for the Lord
That's how the ESV titles this Psalm, after verse 6. In the NLT, it says I long for the Lord. In reading through today's Psalm, I can say that I can relate with this longing. In general, I can be a pretty impatient person sometimes. I get a glimpse of the future, and I have a really difficult time living in the now. Especially if the now is still Winter, or lonely, or mundane, or stressful, or, or, or. But do I long for the Lord Himself? Sometimes I think my longing for Spring, or community, or adventure, or relaxation, or, or, or, is a longing for the Lord Himself.
In today's other passages, we see a glimpse into the future. Seemingly a glimpse of doom. For me, these passages are a bit confusing. What I can take away is, a future without the Lord is a future of doom, and a future with the Lord is a future of hope.
