the "waitings"

I am sitting here on a cold November morning smack dab in the middle of “the waiting”.

You see, God will plant in our hearts the promise of something to come. Whether it be the companion of our life, our calling, a child, a fulfillment, or a simple hope, etc. Our lives are comprised of these “waitings”. “Why?,” you may ask. Well, when we believe in Him, we believe that He has our very best at heart. Our very best always includes His desire for us to grow in faith. When we observe that thing to come, whatever it may be, and we look from it to Him and believe that He will keep His promise, this pleases Him. He looks upon us and smiles, “See they love me more, than this or that.”

In fact, God delights in faith. He wants it occurring consistently in our lives. He gives us the “opportunity” over and over so that our lives may testify of His goodness to those following Him. It is true that sometimes the circumstances are much more grave than we can take, but the testimony of faith shines the brightest in the darkest times. Believe Him for the desire He has planted in your heart. Let the anxiety of impatience disappear in the light of His faithfulness.
