Waiting is one of the hardest things to do.
Whenever I sense the Lord telling me to do just that, hints of panic begin to take shape within my heart. Questions of how do I wait, mixed with feelings of wanting to do as I think best, get jumbled together. I almost begin to feel like I can’t breathe.
But God tells us to wait for Him.
If we’re waiting for anyone or anything else besides the Lord—ourselves, a future spouse, a job, our lives to get easier, anything that will make it all better—we will eventually be sadly disappointed. Counting on those things might seem perfect. But like a house built of cards, they could easily collapse around us.
