Good morning.
No one likes waiting, but doing so is often the wisest course of action for everyday choices as well as for larger, more consequential ones.
We have countless examples both in Scripture and throughout church history that can help us cultivate a spirit of endurance in our own life.
James uses an farming metaphor to encourage us to wait patiently. "Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near. As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy." (James 5:7-8,11)
When God asks us to wait, we can be certain that He intends for a blessing to follow.
Enjoy waiting on the Lord with fellow followers of Christ today.
Blessings.
Mike and Daphne
