Psalms 39:7. And now, Lord, what wait I for?
The psalmist improves as he advances. Now you see that he is cut loose from the world. He has seen the vanity of man, and he has seen the vanity of wealth, so he says, "’Now, Lord, what wait I for? What is there here, in this land of shadows, that I should wait for? Why sit I down where nothing good has ever come, or ever can come? "The ropes that held the balloon to earth are cut, and up it mounts.
Psalms 39:7. My hope is in thee.
This is a glorious hope; this is a hope that finds its all in God, this hope will outlast death and the grave; this hope will be our treasure in eternity. Can each of you truly say this, "My hope is in thee"? Let this be the language of your heart as you speak to your God, "This is what I wait for, - that I may enjoy thy presence here, and that I may rejoice in thy presence hereafter; I wait for the coming of my Lord; I wait for the time when the Lord shall call me home."
