"I will exalt you, God" Why?
"For You have done wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure."
He mentions that strong peoples would glorify God and fear Him. Why?

"For You have been a stronghold to the poor and needy"
"A shelter from the storm and shade from the heat." (v.4)

Isaiah goes on to prophesy what is still to come in the future and how God will "swallow up death forever". He mentions that people in the future will say,
"Behold, this is our God; we have waited for Him, that He might save us" (v.9)
What I noticed is that these people waited and trusted in God, their stronghold, and in the end, they will be proud to call Him their God and will exalt Him. We always exalt what we are proud of. Are you proud of your God? I think that one way that we show we are proud of our God is to wait for Him. By waiting for Him, we show our trust in the fact that His plans are "formed of old, faithful and sure." By waiting on Him, we will become more proud of Him when we see the "wonderful things" that He will do, and therefore we will exalt Him even more. God impressed upon my heart that He is worth the wait. In the end, I will "be glad and rejoice in His salvation", and He will be praised.

Thank You Bro.
This is what I needed to read today. We are so ready to head to Brazil and the wait on support is killing us. But as you shared - we should be glad to wait on our Lord. May God help me with this today.
Thanks James
It takes a humble person to wait, doesn't it?
I agree, He really is worth the wait. And as you said, His plans are of old, and what better could we trust?
