"Keep Waiting"

January 17, 2024   Daily Devotion:   "Keep Waiting"   Philippians 3:13-14 New Living Translation   No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.   Waiting involves a lot of stress—especially when we don’t know how long it will be until the holding pattern ends. During the wait, we sometimes turn away from God and yearn for a time when things felt easier. By turning our eyes forward towards that certain-yet-far-off day, we too may find the strength to keep waiting. Because God promises a glorious future, Christians can find the strength to wait—even when it’s difficult.
