Putting this together, we can see that biblical waiting is connected to what we’re looking for or where we place our trust. In this way, the gaps of life present an opportunity for faith. Sometimes the translators use “hope” for the same word translated as “wait” in other verses (see Ps. 69:6; Isa. 8:17; Jer. 14:22). That’s because waiting and hope are overlapping ideas. To wait is to look with hope.
