Wait • A Message on Psalm 40
Psalm 40 opens with a word that might be hard for many in our cultural context to receive. It's the word wait. We are conditioned to avoid waiting as much as possible. But Daniel Bunn reminds us in this special message, that waiting patiently on the Lord can be the remedy for an uncertain time.

Psalm 40:1–5 NIV
I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in him. Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, who does not look to the proud, to those who turn aside to false gods. Many, Lord my God, are the wonders you have done, the things you planned for us. None can compare with you; were I to speak and tell of your deeds, they would be too many to declare.
Hosea 12:6 NRSV
But as for you, return to your God, hold fast to love and justice and wait continually for your God.
Psalm 37:34 NRSV
Wait for the Lord and keep to his way. And he will exalt you to inherit the land.
John 9:24–25 NIV
A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. “Give glory to God by telling the truth,” they said. “We know this man is a sinner.” He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!”
