EMBRACE THE WAIT

"Wait (wait in faith) patiently for the Lord.  Be brave and courageous.  

Yes, wait patiently for the Lord."  Psalms 27:14 

wait

wāt/

1. 1.

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

The wait is sometimes the hardest part.  Tom Petty wrote and sang about it.  We have to live it.

The proposal.

The test results.

Christmas morning.

The water to boil.

Football season.

The starter's gun to go off.

The weather to warm up.

The birth of a child.

So many things that  we have to WAIT for.  So many things to be impatient about. 

Here are 3 things we can do to EMBRACE THE WAIT:

• Be full of FAITH
• The word "faith" means a conviction based upon hearing.  What you listen to will shape your belief system/what you believe.
• The Bible says in Roman 10:17, "So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ." 
• Be BRAVE & COURAGEOUS
•  Not sure why the writer used BRAVE and COURAGEOUS for us to be in THE WAIT, as they both mean virtually the same thing.  
• COURAGEOUS takes it a bit deeper saying, "not deterred by danger or pain; brave."
• Be PATIENT
• "The capacity to accept or tolerate delay, trouble or suffering without getting angry or upset."

Here's the thing about THE WAIT.....eventually whatever you are waiting for, will happen!

NEVER GIVE UP.

EMBRACE THE WAIT.
