Christ is the Vision You Run With in Waiting · TWOW 57

Waiting on God is not passive endurance. It is an active holding to a vision, and that vision is a person.This episode works through what it actually means to wait on the Lord by refusing the shallow version of it. Os addresses the real question beneath every waiting season: can God actually be trusted, and has he forgotten you among his many sons? Starting in Habakkuk 2, the teaching moves past the vision-board reading of "write the vision, make it plain" and establishes that the vision is not your dream or your desire. It is Christ. Because Christ is the visible representation of the invisible God, he is God's accountability to the believer. Every promise that is yes and amen in Christ, every blessing in the heavenly realm in Christ, every thing pertaining to life and godliness given in Christ, these are not aspirations. They are the substance of what you already hold. The teaching then connects Colossians 1 to the nature of God's work in difficult seasons: God is not punishing. He is forming Christ in you, because what is good to God is measured by the standard of Christ.SCRIPTURE: Habakkuk 2:2-4, Colossians 1:15-18, Ephesians 3:17, Psalm 27:13Subscribe to The Word on Wednesday on Spotify or Apple Podcasts for weekly teachings.
