On Waiting - Part 1

 As I reflect, I realize that at every stage of our lives there is waiting. Simply put, we go through the waiting process everyday. Some seasons of waiting are short-lived and due to that, we may not feel the weight that comes with waiting; this could be waiting on water to boil or waiting for a browser while it's refreshing. But some seasons of waiting can be elongated and they may bring anxiety, excitement, doubt or if we are not firm in our walk with Christ, we might be led to compromise.  This waiting could include waiting for exam results, a good job offer, a child, a recovery from sickness or overcoming a particular habit.

You may be in a season of waiting, like myself, and it may seem like your livelihood depends on what you are waiting for. You may see those around you getting blessed with the very thing you desire; you may be tempted to think God favours a few. But be comforted in these thoughts:

-God is too wise too err - His timing is not affected by miscalculations 

-God is NO respecter of persons 

-Every answer is motivated by love - the waiting season is not meant to break you

May these scriptures comfort you:

Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!

"For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has become His counselor?"

"Or who has first given to Him And it shall be repaid to him?"

For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever. Amen.

- Romans 11:33-36

 "You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands.

They will perish, but You remain; And they will all grow old like a garment;

Like a cloak You will fold them up, And they will be changed. But You are the same, And Your years will not fail.- Hebrews 1:10-12

 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. - James 5:8
