Life holds a lot of waiting for all of us. Whether it is waiting for your birthday when your six, waiting in the doctor's office, or waiting for spring, life is full of waiting. One of the hardest "waitings" is waiting for the Lord.
During a recent youth retreat my youth pastor said something that changed me view of waiting on the Lord. He said that waiting on God is not just a passive waiting doing nothing - waiting on the Lord is an active, pressing in, full of faith and confidence that God will come through in His time. A couple days ago I discovered this quote by Oswald Chambers about waiting.
"If our hopes are being disappointed just now, it means that they are being purified. There is nothing noble the human mind has hoped for or dreamed of that will not be fulfilled. One of the greatest strains in life is the strain of waiting for God."
- Oswald Chambers
So those are just a few random thoughts on waiting on God...
