December 28 / Waiting

Passage: Psalm 37:7,34 & 38:15 Waiting is a universal human experience that becomes especially challenging when we're waiting on God. The Bible teaches that waiting brings strength and requires patience and trust in God's character. We can wait well by letting worship overlap with our waiting, being honest about our emotions, choosing anticipation over dread, staying proactive without getting ahead of God, and focusing on His character rather than our circumstances. Like a rubber band designed to be stretched, waiting stretches us to become the people God designed us to be. Even when we can't see it, God is always working and using our waiting periods for our growth and His purposes.
