Waiting
We are in the Advent season; a time of waiting. Unfortunately, we live in a culture where waiting is not encouraged. We have fast-food restaurants, microwave ovens, advertisements that play on our need for instant gratification, and instant access to knowledge on our computers, tablets, and smartphones.
Our need for instant gratification has made us uncomfortable with waiting. Perhaps we need to be reminded that some things are worth waiting for: graduations, weddings, a new baby, overnight recipes, a garden, crops, big projects, etc. You get the picture — there are many things that just don’t happen at the snap of a finger or the touch of a button.
The Bible contains verses that encourage us to wait patiently:
Be still, and know that I am God (Psalm 46:10a).
But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells (2 Peter 3:13).
Take time to wait, be still, and study God’s Word. To assist in your study, you can find free Bible studies at www.lwml.org/bible-studies.
From Advent to Christmas to Epiphany, along with New Year's and Valentine's Day … here are devotional resources and service ideas for you and your LWML group.
