Christmas - A Reminder to Wait & Worship
Read Psalm 62. I'll wait. Waiting. What a horrible curse word in our Western mindset. No one wants to wait, to experience delayed gratification. Eww. The state of awkwardness that comes while waiting for something leaves us hanging in the balance between patience and impatience, thankfulness and grumbling. More Eww. Waiting. Taking a pause to trust in another's timing for the outcome. Waiting . It's a worship muscle that for the Jesus follower must be worked out, developed, exercised. Waiting. Cannot be separated from trust. It builds our stance. Because God is faithful, I can wait. Without waiting, we become fragile in our faith, our trust in God. Every small gust of suffering that blows our direction topples us over. Our pain threshold becomes low. Waiting . It builds endurance to brace ourselves and trust when answers don't come quickly or when deliverance isn't instantaneous. Waiting. Divides. Reveals hearts - true believers and faithless believers. W
