Qavah - The Wait

The Hebrew word Qavah is often translated as wait, its meaning reaches beyond passive waiting. It paints the picture of cords being twisted and woven together, having strength through tension. It reflects the posture of the heart, intertwined with God, even when the promise has not yet come to pass.

God is not absent in these times, He is weaving the outcome. In the delay, in the stretching, every unseen process is strengthening the cord between your heart and His purpose. The tension is not abandonment, it is the sign of divine preparation.

Isaiah 40:31
But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

The word wait in this verse is Qavah. Meaning those who bind themselves to the Lord. Stay connected to His promises to receive supernatural exchange.
The stretching is not rejection, it is drawing one to greater strength in Him. In the wait the cord most definitely is not broken. Remain intertwined in Him.

Rope becomes stronger when strands are woven together, God is weaving together greater faith, victory in trials and in the waiting something that can carry the greater glory!

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Psalm 27:14
Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!

In a season of Qavah do not let go of the cord. It is producing strength in the tension and the stretching is preparing elevation. The waiting is developing wings! Remain braided in His Presence, He is Faithful and what was promised will surely come to pass.

Habakkuk 2:3
For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.

The Apostle Paul understood His divine weaving…
Colossians 2:2
That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ

This is a beautiful prophetic picture of Qavah! Hearts knitted together in love, bound to Christ. The Lord is not merely preparing a promise, He is preparing a people who are woven together with His Heart.
Even before we took our first breath, in the wait from conception to birth, God was weaving His masterpiece!

Psalm 139:13
For You formed my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb.

If in the natural, how much more in the spiritual. A cord braided by God, a three strand cord is not easily broken! In the wait spiritual currents will sustain you and carry you into your next level of destiny and divine purpose in Him.

Qavah, the picture of being braided together like strands of cord. Prophetically this portrays His spiritual DNA cord. The waiting seasons
I relate to holy transformation times, a process of being changed from glory to glory. In the ‘wait’ it is a progressive tension of being moulded and shaped. Just as a butterfly emerges having beautiful wings, it endued the wait and trusted the process.

I believe the Body of Christ is being strengthened in this very process of Qavah. A spiritual tempering is taking place in order to withstand what is before so that they may rise up on Wings of Eagles.
O that we may be intertwined in The Ladder of His DNA for He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together!

An interesting note a deeper prophetic meaning of Rebekha’s name means captivating, knotted cord.(to bind,to tie) As she was bound in betrothal to marry Isaac. There was a wait before the marriage. A season of transition.
Rebekha was a type and shadow of The Bride of Christ.
There is a word play - creating is a form of knotting/braiding. A shaping and moulding as in interweaving, just as God forms and knits together in the womb. An intricate forming takes place, a measuring of time as in being pregnant…….The Wait - Qavah! There are spiritual semisters!

Waiting in the Secret Place. God is fashioning and forming The Bride There is a Holy Protection of His Spiritual Womb. And in the wait He is weaving cords of Righteousness, strands of Power having tension. An encompassing Love so that The Bride of Christ be in full Perfection and Completeness……..In the Qavah (wait) She is being braided together with Cords of Gold, stretched in Hope, looking unto Her Groom, held in Tension by the DNA of God. That she may be without spot or blemish, clothed in Holy Righteousness to be presented Full, Complete and Whole unto The King!

Side Note
The DNA Scarlet Thread is knitted into the Entire Word of God.

There was a Qavah - Wait for the Promise in the Upper Room in the book of Acts. (Active Waiting)

There was a Wait to enter into the Promised Land.

Before any Great move of God there is a Wait, Qavah, Pause, Selah.......
It is coming! He is coming.....
