Waiting is uncomfortable. No one really likes waiting.
We are all waiting for something. Some things are more imminent than others.
Maybe you are waiting for Christmas.
Waiting for test results.
Waiting to find out about a job.
Waiting for your marriage to turn around.
Waiting for an adult child to call.
Waiting for the adoption agency to process your paperwork.
The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:17-18
While you are waiting for the big things God will provide the little things. Look around you right now. There are 10 things that you can thank God that you are no longer waiting for. Chances are, some of those little things used to be the big things.
His path to glory is not the path we would choose. Anything we have to go through will be well worth it. -Mark Conelly
I will wait for you, O Lord; you will answer, O Lord my God. Psalm 38:15
While I am waiting I will read scripture that reminds me that my God is so very capable. He has an eternal timetable that is perfect.
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1
I will pray. Prayer is about God shaping my will, not the other way around. He knows your heart cry, and he wants to bless you. But we must remember that the sovereignty of God does not take away from his will. Sometimes we are waiting for an answer that we have already been given. God's will is not refundable.
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Ecclesiastes 3:11
What are you waiting for this morning? Lay it at the cross. Thank Him for answered prayers. Know that you are on a path to glory that is being made perfect in its time.
