Waiting

We've all had things that we have had to wait for.
The results to a test, the arrival of a friend, our food to get done cooking.
But there are times in our life when we must wait for something we really really want. There are times when God asks us and even makes us wait for something.
This season of waiting can last a short time, or sometimes it can drag on for months and months.
Frankly, I don't like waiting a whole lot. Also, it's a very anti-American thing to wait. We have been trained as a society to want, expect, and get instant gratification.
But, God's time-table is rarely the same as our time-table.
God's time is perfect...even though it may be insanely hard to wait for it.
When God says to wait, there's a perfect reason for the waiting.
The reason will be found at the end or along the way.
But even during the waiting, there's a wonder in the here and now.
There are things that God wants us to fill the waiting with.
We must walk in those things, and walk worthy.

I know that I don't like waiting for alot of things, and sometimes it really really hurts, but it is good. God sometimes asks me to wait...and so I will simply wait.

Lord, I don't understand
why You've brought me here
but Your love I am sure of
so I will simply wait

wait on You
Lord, I will wait on You
even when it looks uncertain
I will simply wait on You
