Galatians 4:4-7 God Gives Satisfaction to Those Who Patiently Wait

Waiting is always hard, especially when what you're waiting for is very important. Waiting an hour for your food at a restaurant isn’t a big deal, but waiting a week for an electrician to restore your power is much harder. The more we need something, the harder it is to wait. After the fall into sin, God’s people waited for the most important gift—a Savior. Centuries passed, and they wondered, “Where is he?” Unable to save themselves from sin, death, and hell, they could only wait. The first Christmas came at just the right time, and the Savior was born. The faithful rejoiced! This week, we are reminded that God always works on the perfect timetable. Those who wait for him are never disappointed, for God satisfies those who patiently trust in him.
