The Waiting Place




God has His hour and delay. Thus we wait.

Waiting is hard. We twiddle our thumbs, shuffle our feet, stifle our yawns, heave long sighs and fret inwardly in frustration. Why must I live with this awkward person, this tedious job, this embarrassing behavior, this health issue that will not go away? Why doesn't God come through?

God's answer: Wait awhile and see what I will do.

Waiting is one of life's best teachers for in it we learn the virtue of...well, waiting - waiting while God works in us and for us. It's in waiting that we develop endurance, the ability to trust God's love and goodness, even when things aren't going our way.

God is never in a hurry, but He's always on time.
