DAVID JEREMIAH’S TURNING POINT MARCH 22ND, 2024
Waiting is a fact of life. The question is not, “Will we have to wait?” but, “What do we do while we wait?” Before the advent of cellphones, many people carried a book in their purse, briefcase, or backpack to read while waiting. Today, nearly everyone has a phone with them, so they spend time scrolling through headlines, emails, or texts.
But waiting is not just something that happens in modern life. Waiting also happens in the spiritual life. Sometimes we are “forced” to wait on God to answer or act; other times we choose to wait as a way to gather our thoughts or recharge our physical or spiritual batteries. In the case of spiritual waiting, what should we do while we wait? Psalm 25:4-5 suggests two priorities: prayer (“Show me Your ways, O Lord”) and meditation on God’s Word (“Lead me in Your truth and teach me”).
When you are waiting, wait prayerfully and meditatively. Let God speak to your heart by His Spirit and His Word.
Teach us, O Lord, the discipline of patience, for to wait is often harder than to work.
Peter Marshall
