0:00.0	Pray the word with David Platt as a resource from Radical.net.
0:30.8	Silence for God alone. The first time in verse one, the psalmist David in this
0:37.0	instant says, for God alone, my soul waits in silence, but then it's interesting when you
0:41.6	get down to verse five. He says, for God alone, oh, my soul, he's speaking to himself,
0:46.8	telling himself to wait in silence to hope in God as his salvation. I just think about that
0:54.1	picture of your soul waiting. Waiting is so hard sometimes, isn't it? At least it is for me.
1:00.9	I to wait when you want something to happen so badly and you don't understand why it's happening.
1:07.7	So interesting, even as I say that, I think about a part of my story that I've shared many times
1:13.2	about how for five years, Heather, my wife and I walked through infertility and we waited month
1:20.3	after month, after month, year after year. Not as long as Abraham and Sarah in the Bible,
1:24.9	but it felt like that just waiting and learning to trust that God was working all of this together

1:37.4	has provided in our family first through adoption and then biologically along the way. And now,
1:43.2	interestingly enough, we find ourselves waiting again. We've been waiting for over three years now
1:48.9	to go pick up one of our children that we're adopting overseas. And so we find ourselves waiting
1:55.1	again. And I totally get how David can say in verse one, my soul waits in silence. And then in
2:01.6	verse five, he's having to tell himself to wait in silence because waiting is a struggle. And
2:07.2	just as I have seen God work in response to years of waiting in the past, I'm having to remind myself
2:13.9	many days that I can wait on God and trust that he is working. And I just want to encourage you
2:20.0	with that today, especially if you're in a season or time of waiting here. God speaking to you
2:27.4	right now through his word, saying to you, he is your salvation, he is your hope, and your soul
2:34.0	can wait on him in silence. In trust that he is working a plan and purpose that you or I may not
