I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry.
We have always heard that patience is a virtue. it also makes up the fruit of the Spirit. Patience is not passive. It is actively trusting in God, waiting for the answer, waiting for the breakthrough.
In a parable about a vineyard, the Master gave the instruction, 'occupy until I come'. Stay busy, keep on living, don't give up hope...the answer will come.
The reward for patience in this verse is that the Lord turned towards the petitioner and heard his cry. He hears our cries too. He sees the injustice, the heartaches, the tears and hearing our cries means that he will do something about it. He will answer our prayers.
May we be patient, waiting in faith for the answer from GOD not from anyone else.
