“I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait and
in his word do I hope.” Psa 130
It
is for the Lord that the soul should wait, for the gifts of His grace and the
workings of His power. We must hope for
that only which is promised in His word. Waiting is much more than a passing of
time until one get’s what they desire; waiting is a process of becoming what
God wants us to be. Be hesitant in focusing on how long you will be stuck in a
storm and start asking what there is to learn from it. Time is never squandered
when one is patient in God’s timing. Patience is not the ability to wait; that’s
part of life. True patience is the ability to wait with the hope that God is
working for your good. “And so, after he
had patiently endured, he (Abraham) received
the promise.” Heb 6:15. While at
times you must wait patiently for the storms to pass, your hope in God should
allow you to dance in the rain.
Joseph
waited 13 years; Abraham 25 years; Moses 40 years and Jesus 30 years…being
patient in the Lord will put you in good company.
