Waiting for anything in our culture is tough. We are hyper impatient with most any material thing available at a finger’s click. Microwave ovens, instapots, and air fryers make cooking easier with minimal planning. Apps can make a lot happen quickly. But waiting for answers to prayer or receiving comfort and encouragement from a community of like minded folks is a process that takes time the changes God wants to make in our lives do not happen with minimal effort or a finger’s click. Waiting is learning as I quiet down and quit focusing on myself, comparing my life with others.
“At times God permits His children to experience darkness on a dead-end street where they don’t know which way to turn. When this happens, wait for the Lord to give you light in His own time. Don’t try to manufacture your own light or to borrow light from others. Follow the wise counsel of Isaiah: “Who among you fears the LORD? Who obeys the voice of His Servant? Who walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD and rely upon his God” (Isa. 50:10 NKJV).” - Warren W. Wiersbe, Be Patient
