Worth the Wait

Boredom overtakes me sometimes ... never at work or home!  Usually it's blowout ball games or hunting videos.  Before I know it, I'm dreaming of being elsewhere, then yawning.  Not very inconspicuous, huh?

Aren't we glad God doesn't get impatient with us?  We sure do with Him!  While God's uses our circumstances to build character and strengthen our faith, we're yawning and whining, "When's it going to end?"  The Father sees the bigger picture while our vision is limited, seeing only what is causing us pain.  "Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord." (Psalm 27:14)  The Hebrew word for "wait" is kaw-vaw, meaning to tarry patiently expecting something. You see, it’s not a tap-your-foot kind of wait.  It's clearly a matter of trusting God to be God of it all, and letting Him bring His perfect work to completion in our lives.   Our time is all His and His timing is perfect. Anyway, His end is always worth the wait!
