Waiting

I was looking through old journals and found this entry from September 2020. Just wanted to share and encourage us all in our seasons of waiting.

“Thinking about this idea of waiting on the Lord. Sometimes I think that “wait” seems inactive or lazy. But this is the actual definition:

Stay where one is or delay action until a particular time or until something else happens

Used to indicate that one is eagerly impatient to do something or for something to happen

The act of waiting implies and assumes hope. It assumes there IS something coming. There is anticipation. So when we say we wait on the Lord or wait for the Kingdom to come, it implies hope. If I find myself lacking hope, maybe I’m lacking the waiting on something. And the only thing worth waiting for that will eventually and eternally and completely satisfy is God. God and his Kingdom coming implies all wrong turned to right, full justice being brought, setting captives free. That’s what I wait on because that’s the ultimate end. In the meantime, I look inside to see where I lack, where I need Jesus to come and clean my heart. What, then, flows out of inner transformation is outer demonstration. That’s where we become world changers - when we have been transformed.”
