4 ways god will say “wait” to you
There is nothing quite as difficult as waiting. When we are in the middle of some particularly difficult situation, time appears to stand still. In America it seems we cannot bear to wait for anything. What is more, we regard instant service and gratification almost as rights.
Not long ago I found myself in such a place. On one occasion I remember trying to comfort our two-and-a-half-year-old twin grandchildren, who were howling because their daddy had kissed them goodbye and was on his way to work. My best effort, however, did not alleviate the pain of parting, and I realized at once how stupid my attempt had been.
His knowledge is withheld not to tease us but to test us! Waiting for closure always exposes the caliber of my faith, the intensity of my patience and trust, and the shape of my character.
I want to stay shallow and have the huge hurt go away! Trials work for us, not against us…God permits trials that He might build character into our lives.
And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. Back to Search .
