Americans are very bad at waiting. In fact the digital age has made waiting a lost art. But, what about waiting for God? From time immemorial it seems that people have lamented about waiting for God to intervene in human history. Perhaps we misunderstand waiting for God. We mistakenly confuse waiting with inaction. Life then becomes little more than a huge waiting room for that promised blissful future. Make no mistake we do believe that life is eternal. However, when we wait for God’s wisdom and guidance as we navigate the exigencies of daily life, waiting must be understood as preparation. A time to open one’s heart in-order to allow God’s grace to heal, to nurture, and to guide. It must be a time of true prayer. Most importantly, a time of true dependence on God as revealed in Jesus Christ. Now that is genuinely Good News. Blessings, Pastor Tom Jeremiah 29:11-13 I know the plans I have in mind for you, declares the Lord; they are plans for peace, not disaster, to give you a future filled with hope. When you call me and come and pray to me, I will listen to you. When you search for me, yes, search for me with all your heart, you will find me. Comments are closed.
