Thoughtful Starter:
What do you do when you need to wait?
Today's Scripture Reading: Psalm 24:14
"Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord."
Waiting- just hearing this word may awake some dreading emotions to some. It may even be acquainted to boring, waste of time, tiring, frustrating and the list goes on.
I have never heard somebody sharing their love of waiting.
But this is exactly what God wants us to do. For the answers to our questions, for His actions to take place in our lives, and for the other times that we want Him to intervene immediately, He is telling us to wait.
Instead of viewing "waiting" as a nuisance, we can see it as a chance.
A chance to slow down from our busy lives and redirect our focus to Him.
A chance to reflect on our thoughts and our actions.
A chance to grow in faith with Him.
He has a reason to make us wait.
Because there is never a wasted time with Him.
We wait, because He is never late.
Today, may we trust in His timing in our lives as we courageously stand firm on our faith in the "season of waiting".
Today's Reflection Question:
What can you do to enjoy the "season of waiting"?
Today's Prayer:
Dear God, thank you for giving us the strength and courage as we wait for you. We surrender our lives and plans to you, as you craft them in your plans for us. Amen.
