Reflection:  Waiting

One of the hardest lessons we can learn, is the lesson of waiting. We want answers now. We want results now. We want to know what is going to happen now. We want to arrive at our destination now. Our reward, our rest, our inheritance is not found in this life, it is in the life to come. In the New Heavens and the New Earth. So, we wait. We wait patiently. We wait with hope and with expectation. Like the watchman who is waiting for the sun to rise to bring relief, we wait for Christ to return.

Question:  How are you using your time of waiting for God’s glory?  In what area of your heart can you ask God to make you more patient?

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, may I wait on you with my whole self. May I long for Christ’s return. Help me today to use my time of waiting for your Kingdom.
