    Are you waiting? Are you waiting for something to Are you waiting? Are you waiting for something to begin or end? In our instant society, we like things done fast. We often consider waiting inconvenient because it tests our patience. We wait for the right relationship, a new job or retirement, test results, babies to be born, and hardships to end. Yet throughout the Old and New Testaments, we’re told to wait in expectation for God to act on our behalf. To wait as used in the original Hebrew, means to hope, look eagerly for, expect. Waiting is especially difficult during a season of hardship, but it gives us the opportunity to exercise our faith muscles. Waiting also helps us develop a more intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. We can do some beneficial things while we wait: ● Cry out to God. Choose to believe He will hear and answer. Then trust Him. ● Anticipate and expect that God will bring a good result. ● Read the Bible. Meditate on God’s promises. ● Hold tight to the hope that God’s timing is perfect. God is not in a hurry to produce a perfect result. ● Praise God for His work in the past. Tell others about the good things He has done. ● Be peaceful; do not fret. Lamentations 3:25 tells us, The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the person who seeks Him. Do you believe He’s good? Author and Bible teacher Charles Stanley writes, “You can trust that if He asks you to wait, He has something more wonderful in mind than you could ever provide for yourself.” Now, that is good. Recall Psalm 25:5. It says, "Lead me in Your truth and teach me, for You are the God of my salvation; for You I wait all the day." Is this true of you? Are you willing to wait all day? All month? For a season? While waiting, be encouraged with words from Isaiah 40:31: "Those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary." What are you waiting for? Something to begin or something to end? What will you do while you wait? Copyright@www.debbiepresnell.com, from "Shining Through the Psalms" (2026) available on Amazon
    Truth for Tuesday afternoon … God invites us to co Truth for Tuesday afternoon … God invites us to come to Him, approach His throne, through prayer and worship. (Hebrews 4:16). We have an open invitation to boldly enter the throne room of God to receive grace, help, mercy, direction, forgiveness and more. We don’t have to feel He is too busy, not interested, or tired from hearing from us. NOPE! He wants for us to look to Him. What an extraordinary privilege to come before God!
