Waiting...

Some find waiting difficult.

Some jump at their first option rather than wait.

Some do this in small ways until they magnify. 

We become easily impatient in this fast-paced world. 

Everything must be done now.

Waiting on others, we are tapping our feet.

Waiting for a holiday, we are working hard.

Waiting on God, we are questioning how long?

When I think of waiting on God

I remember those who have done likewise.

Abraham and Sarah waiting for a child.

David waiting for God to deliver him from many perils.

The Israelites waiting to return to the promised land.  

Simeon waiting for the promised Messiah till old age.

The disciples waiting for the Holy Spirit.

And Christians now and over the years waiting for Jesus to return and restore.

God may take his time to fulfill his promises and answer our prayers.

But his timing is never late, it's just when he carefully planned it to happen.

If we try to rush and hurry things along it may not turn out as well.

So be patient and wait for God.

Unlike other people in life he can be relied upon.
