Waiting in Hope - Audio

Dr. Smith discusses the difficulty of waiting in a modern, on-demand culture, contrasting it with the abundance and convenience of modern life. He references Isaiah 40:28-31, emphasizing that those who wait on the Lord will be strengthened and blessed. Waiting on God requires hope, expectation, and trust, binding oneself to Him. It's not passive but an active faithfulness, accepting truth and reality, even when obstacles exist due to the fallen world. He uses the story of Ruth and Boaz to illustrate faith, integrity, and trusting God's ways, even when desires aren't immediately met.
