There's one word we all learn to dislike from a very young age.
WAIT.
this word and I….we don't get along too well.
I think many people would agree that periods of waiting are very frustrating and have the potential to be exhausting.
but waiting is a fact of life that we all face at some point or another.
so we just have to suck it up.
yeah, I said it.
suck it up.
this is me talking to myself, specifically, as well as to all you other "waiters" out there.
I don't know about you, but I tend to overexaggerate during times when I'm told to wait.
for some reason, everything feels so much worse than it really is.
but guess what? waiting is for our own good.
because "we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." ((Romans 8:28))
waiting is a time of learning to TRUST the Lord and rely on Him fully.
waiting is a time of fixing our eyes on Him, and Him alone.
waiting is a time of strengthening our faith.
waiting is a time of rest.
so if you're anxious during a spell of waiting…
Trust that you're right where He wants you. Rest in His arms, beloved…it's the best place you could possibly be.
"Though it linger, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay." Habakkuk 2:3
