Praise the LORD, all you servants of the LORD who minister by night in the house of the LORD. Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the LORD. May the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth, bless you from Zion.
We spend much of our life waiting...
We wait for traffic, we wait in line at the movies for our tickets, we wait for vacation to begin then we wait for it it end. Waiting is so much a part of daily living and there are even waiting rooms set up where we can officially wait; for the doctor, dentist, or diagnosis. We wait for someone to make the first move, we wait for our meal to be prepared and served. On and on this list goes.
There are seasons in life where waiting is more prevalent than others. Students wait to hear test results, athletes wait to learn if they made the team. People who live on fixed incomes often wait for payday to roll around.
We also find ourselves waiting upon the Lord. We pray, laying our petitions out in front of God, and we wait. His timing is perfect...and we wait. We pray and we wait. Just what do we wait for? Is it ever time to stop waiting? I don't know the answer to this question, do you?
What do you do while you are waiting for God to answer a prayer? Praise the LORD, some would say to praise and pray as if...as if your prayer has been answered. Knowing that God always answers our pleas, do we move forward assuming God has paved the way?
Waiting is trusting...the line will get shorter, the results will be delivered, our name will be called. Yes, waiting for our prayers to be answered is Trusting God.
Psalm 133, 134, 135
