Worth the Wait

"Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord." Psalm 27:14

The saying goes, "patience is a virtue" which is true, but who truly likes to wait?  Does the child on Christmas Eve desire to wait one more day to get his/her gifts?  Do you enjoy waiting on the line at the grocery store or any kind of store for that matter for the cashier to check your items?  How about at your favorite restaurant, is your wait for a table or to get served  a wonderful experience?

For most, waiting is frustrating, annoying and something one does not like to do.  I personally have grown into patience and have come to respect the "waiting period."  I was a go-getter from the time I was little, and when you think you can get something for yourself, waiting is hardly on the agenda.  But as I matured, I found that there is a reason and a season for everything!

The verse in Psalm 27 reminds us that there are indeed things worth waiting for!  God has so many promises of prosperity, happiness and contentment on this side of heaven and in heaven as well.  However many of those promises require that we wait for His movement and His timing!

The Bible says, "All good things come from the Lord!" and I believe this to be a true statement for all of us who would believe, but are you willing to wait for God to make manifest His vision for your life- in your life?

Yes, the world says whatever you want-right now; but are you willing to take a leap of faith and trust God enough to wait on His wonderful and glorious blessings??

My friend, I am a witness to what God can do in His time and He is more than worth the wait!

Father, be with us as we become weary in the wait.  Help us have greater faith in what You can do!  In Jesus' name, Amen.
