WSD | A posture of patience while we wait upon God

Hello friends!In his book, Mere Christianity, CS Lewis wrote, “I am sure that God keeps no one waiting unless He sees that it is good for him to wait,”. He goes on to say, “but you must regard it as waiting, not as camping. You must keep on praying for light.” As I reflected on yesterday’s podcast, where I spoke about this challenging season of despair and anger that I find myself in, a series of concentric circles that holds a mirror up to the tribulations facing the world, the local community and my own little bubble, the word ‘impatience’ kept weighing on my heart. It spoke to this desire for everything from wanting my Dad’s health to improve all the way up to waiting on the Rapture and God’s Will being done on earth as it is in Heaven. But as CS Lewis notes, if God is keeping me, you, us waiting, then it’s clear that He sees it good for us to wait. But it’s an active wait, that in addition to praying for light, should probably also involve praying for godly productivity; a posture of being salt and light, which could mean using our impatience, our despair, even our anger for fuel that furthers the Kingdom of God with the time we have left here on earth. We’ll take a look at what that looks like from a practical point of view in a future podcast. Today, as always, we’ll take a look at some of the most recent headlines and reflect on waiting on God. That’s all coming up on today’s Withstand Daily Podcast.RESOURCES:Jack Hibbs "What does waiting on God mean?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amGHmkSv3FMDonnie Discerned on X: @DonnieDarkenedCS Lewis, Mere ChristianityCONTACT US:[email protected] - @withstandpodGod bless you in your pursuit of patience, I'm right there with you my friends!
