The Art of Waiting

 What do you do in the waiting? That's right - when there's something that you're waiting for, what are you doing - when there's something maybe you're waiting for from God, something big maybe something small - what do you do in the waiting?

We live in a world where waiting has become a foreign word. We live in a world where waiting has been the last thing really on our list to do. We can order things on our cellphones in a matter of moments, we don't really even have to wait to get home to get on our laptops or on our computer, right? 

We don't have to wait for much even when we order things we have all sorts of shipping options that we can pay extra money to maybe get something overnight rather than waiting for two days, rather than waiting for five days - even if it's something that we don't need in an emergency sense. 

Waiting is such a powerful thing. It's in the waiting where character is formed it's in the waiting where our hearts are formed, where we learn some of the greatest lessons and the deepest things that God has desired for our lives.

When you're waiting on God for something, the greatest thing that you could do is worship Him. It takes your mind and it causes it to be focused on the one and only God. Are you waiting for something today? Are you waiting for something to come through?

Being in the waiting is an awesome time for us, because it is where we grow close to the Lord - we don't rush it, we don't try to push the button and get it going, we don't try to upgrade and get a quicker shipping process here - we wait upon the Lord, and we know that His timing is perfect.
