Are you in a season of waiting on God’s promises? Find encouragement knowing God repeatedly fulfilled His promises in the Bible.
Wait. Waiting. Still waiting.
We wait in grocery store lines. We wait at the traffic lights. We wait for small children to put their shoes on or teenagers to get ready (patiently, of course).
We have heard “Please hold” a hundred times over the years. And we grow gray hairs at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
According to factsite.com, “The average person spends five years throughout their lifetime waiting in lines and queues.”
Whoa! What a waste of time.
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I get a little cranky and impatient waiting on other people or for things to happen.
Like a child, I find myself with my arms crossed and my foot tapping the floor.
I’d love to tell you that when it comes to waiting on God to move in my life or answer a prayer, I have a pleasant demeanor and plenty of patience.
But, I must confess that I am a work in progress, and while I have made some progress in waiting on God’s promises with a mature faith, I still cave to the desires of my flesh at times.
There are moments when God’s perceived inaction pushes me to take action myself. Instead of waiting, I jump headfirst into a mess not intended for me.
If only I had just waited on the Lord!
