Gal 6:9 “And let us not grow weary of doing good,
for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.”
I believe we’re all familiar with the process of pulling that
little forked “tab/ticket” with that dreaded number on it and staring
impatiently at the digital display waiting for our opportunity. Those who are
familiar with the movie “Beetlejuice” and the closing scene and him holding
his ticket can empathize with him (lol). Everyone waits in life be it for spouses,
arrival of a baby, children etc. We can also find ourselves waiting for clarity,
direction, healing, hope or a miracle. Yes, we wait on God in our temporal
realm! And when we misunderstand what waiting is about, we can get more
confused, frustrated and anxious. Patience is one of God’s greatest tools in
our spiritual growth. Meaning our patience in God will greatly determine His
purpose in and with us! Our required
patience is the time in which God is preparing our hearts for the things we
cannot experience once we’ve opened that moment of our life. God knows that, we
don’t always grasp it and thus grow impatient in the process. It can be like
the song “Even If” by Mercy Me, which says “stood on this stage night after night
reminding the broken it’ll be alright” when we ourselves are not confident that
it will be! But just wait, because
everyone takes their turn in the waiting room. It’s a long and painful fact of
life, but shortcuts and impatience often just lend to spiritual injury. Instead
be Patient, Content and in Hope
knowing that your patience is preparation for what will be a powerful outcome.
Otherwise when our opportunity in the Lord comes, we will be spending our time
on the bench healing rather than participating.
Just You Wait, if God’s asking you to wait then be prepared
to receive more than you asked for… HSAY
