Today’s
scripture: Psalm 39:7
Lila was waiting for her friend, Carrie . . . again.
It seemed that, no matter what time she told Carrie to arrive, Carrie was always fifteen or twenty minutes late.
And it was beginning to make Lila angry.
Another few minutes crept by, and Lila became even angrier.
How dare Carrie make her wait so long?
Have you ever waited for someone? It’s pretty frustrating, isn’t it? But waiting isn’t always a bad thing.
The Bible tells us that if we wait upon the Lord, He will renew our strength so that we can fly like eagles. We can walk and run, and still not be weary (Isaiah 40:31).
God’s timing isn’t always ours, but we can be assured that if we wait on His plan, He will work His perfect will in our lives. We can live in hope that “all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose” (Romans 8:28).
Waiting, when it’s waiting on God and His plan, isn’t a bad thing.
In fact, sometimes, waiting on Him can strengthen our faith and deepen our trust.
Have you been waiting on God for something, and it seems to be taking a long time? Go to Him and ask Him to give you the patience to wait upon Him.
