My, how hard it is to wait! We’re waiting to move and it’s hard waiting for the Lord’s green light. Jesus said in Luke 19:13, “Occupy till I come.” Meaning, keep busy while you wait.
When waiting for news from afar, waiting can be trying. If you’re waiting for a loved ones’ return, days can turn into nights and all roll into one. There’s a heartbreak movie we once saw and didn’t have the heart to watch again-Hachi. Waiting is really tough! Watch at your own risk!
Maybe you’re waiting for healing. Or maybe you’re waiting for God to send you that promised loved one. He tests our mettle! At this present moment, all of creation awaits God’s full deliverance from the curse of sin and death (Romans 8:19-23).
But, in victory, Jesus knows the time of His return for us is near and close at hand! He too awaits the day when He’ll have us near Him for all eternity! Just as we can’t wait to be near our daughters and grandkids, God looks forward to the long-awaited day when all His children will sit at His table! Can you imagine?! Sounds incredible, but soon, our waiting will be over!
Don’t despair! He hasn’t forgotten you! Wait faithfully!
God Bless!
