What are you waiting for?Lamentations 3:25
Most people spend time waiting. You may be waiting for God to bring an answer to some situation you are facing in your job, family, or ministry. Sometimes you may find yourself waiting because you propel yourself into doing so by choices that you make like declining a promotion because of the extra schedule requirements. Sometimes you find yourself in the waiting room due to circumstances beyond your control, like impending mergers and downsizing. Waiting can be frustrating...all you folks who have little or no patience know exactly what I'm speaking.
But know that waiting is the process that occurs between a promise of something and the fulfillment of it.
Waiting rooms can be places of joyful anticipation, such as when you are waiting to hear that you got the promotion. Or they can be places of fearful apprehension, like when you are waiting to hear if your position was the one cut. In either case, during the waiting you may be flooded with many emotions of excitement, fear, or nervousness. Experiencing the feelings of waiting is part of the process of trusting God's timing.
Waiting has always been a part of a life of faith. When you trust God, you learn that God's timing is not necessarily your timing and sometimes you have to wait on Him. If you try to handle things on your own, you could be missing an opportunity to learn, grow, and be blessed. God will bring the promise to pass when he feels that you are good and ready to receive it.
Selah people' and friends dust off a dream that you shelved long ago. Make your waiting worthwhile by developing your dream in detail. When the time is right, you will be prepared to act on your plan.
"Let us put our faith into action and get off the bench. Christ is here today and the time is right."
Your pastor,
