Have you ever tried to show someone something amazing? As you wait on the expected wonder, the excitement grows. You end up saying, "Wait for it.... wait for it... and then... "Wow!"
Many of us are not naturally patient. It think patience can be groomed, grown, tested and it is a gift by His grace. We can learn to rest in the presence of the Lord, trusting his hand.
Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act.-Psalm 37:7
The waiting places grow us like few others. We are all getting a taste of waiting in this season of a global health crisis. We cannot hit "fast forward". If it were only that simple, right?
Still, in these trying times, we can "wait for it". His hand is moving. Sometimes unseen, but He is still working. We don't know what accidents we've been spared and trials we've missed because we are all simplifying and staying home.
Some of the unseen blessings will remain unknown. Others, we will in time realize. Time with our loved ones is precious and rare. We are instructed to not be patient. We are directed to "be still in the presences of the Lord."
Be still... rest... wait on it. He's up to something.
