Waiting


As I have said before - I don't do 'waiting' very well.
I love what Phillips Brooks says: "The trouble is that I am in a hurry, but God isn't!"

However, it is clear that there were many people in the Bible who had to wait to receive something special.

-Abraham waited 100 years before he was given a son (Hebrews 6:15)
-The Israelites waited 40 years to enter the promised land (Exodus)
-Simeon waited his whole life to see the Messiah (Luke 2)
-The disciples had to wait for the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:4)

I guess it may well be true that "All good things come to those who wait!"
What do you think?

Living in Grace,

Waiting with idle hands and minds may drift you from the path..don't just wait do something in the mean time..
