There are times in life what we so desperately need seems to escape us, nothing works out for our good. We find ourselves in a holding pattern waiting on a resolution, we pray and pray, but; they just bounce off the ceiling; no answer in sight, so we wait. To wait is one of the hardest things for most of us to do, our spontaneous society leads us to desire immediate satisfaction and gratification of our desire upon request.

There are so many things in this life that require us to wait, some of them we never give a second thought; is what you’re waiting on worth the wait is the question I pose to you? It was raining, yet; the crowd anxiously waited on the arrival of the bus, he kept watching his watch it was apparent he was in a hurry, yet; the check out line was not moving, her appointment time had long past, it had been over an hour and she was still waiting to see the doctor.

Everyday we experience circumstance which require us to wait for one thing or another, some are so insignificant we respond as with robotic programming. There are times when waiting is mandatory, so I ask again, is what you’re waiting on worth the wait? Our faith is tested when waiting is required for it is by faith we receive what we have requested. “Be still in the presence of the Lord and wait on Him to act. Don’t worry about evil people who prosper or fret about their wicked schemes” Psalms 37:7

Isaiah 40:31 tells us “but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint.” We are all; everyone of us in a holding pattern awaiting the promised return of our redeemed and savior Jesus the Christ, no one knows the day or hour of His return but we are admonished to be ready for it. What are you doing as you wait? Are you preparing for this great event?

Have you given your heart to the transforming love of Jesus? Have you yielded your will to the leading of the Holy Spirit and are you studying the word of God given for your instruction? Our wait may seem long, but; the time is very short. Jesus said ” behold I come quickly and my reward is with me to give every man according as his work shall be.” Jesus is coming back and He is worth the wait.
