Psalms 27:14 TPT   “Here’s what I’ve learned through it all: Don’t give up; don’t be impatient; be entwined as one with the Lord. Be brave and courageous, and never lose hope. Yes, keep on waiting— for he will never disappoint you!”

We usually see this verse translated as Wait upon the Lord…..  which is entirely appropriate.  But the Hebrew qavah has richer meanings.  Here they are, “to tie together by twisting” or “to entwine” or “to wrap tightly”.

What a beautiful picture of our active work of waiting on the Lord.  It’s not throwing it to the man upstairs and leaving it with Him while we go about or life on earth..   It is an active pursuit of intimacy with Papa for the sake of becoming closer and closer to Him.   Not to pester Him about the answer, but we move closer to Him because we know that in Him are all the answers to all the questions and He will share them with us if we just get close, get quiet and listen.

The verse uses the word qavah twice, which emphasizes our need to continually entwine with Papa to be able to hear Him better and be strengthened in our faith, courage, hope, love and trust in Him.
