I have been learning in this season of life…
Waiting is not a punishment from God. It can, at times, be a test of faith.
Will you bow down to your fleshly desires?
Or will you submit to God’s desires and promises?
Sarai (Sara) and Abraham waited on God.
Naomi and Ruth waited.
Esther waited.
I have found beauty in waiting. That is where character is built. Transformation comes in the waiting seasons of life.
In the waiting, I have seen circumstances and people come and go. I have had periods of loneliness. Defeat. Desperation.
But…what I have learned is that, in the waiting, God is carrying me. He is leading me. He is guiding me. And most importantly, He is loving me.
So, in the waiting, I will trust in God. Because through Him (Christ) I have strength. Through Him, I have grace. Through Him, I can see the things that are unseen (faith). And in the waiting, it becomes even more evident that my identity is not in people, places or things. But in the Creator of everything. Jesus Christ, my Lord and Saviour.
Wait well❤️.
