We all are waiting on something. Waiting for an event to arrive. Waiting to see if it will turn out and if we planned it well. Waiting to figure what will be at the store when we go to get the whole list.
Waiting to leave on a trip. Waiting till every job is completed before we go. Waiting for everyone to pile into the vehicle of travel, maybe waiting for the last one to brush their teeth so we can go.
Waiting to pay the bills; for the money to come in to pay the bills. Waiting for something to sell so we can pay the aforementioned bills.
Waiting for the garden to grow, the flowers to bloom, the green beans to bear strings of beans in place of blossoms.
We wait for the grass to grow green and rain to come again. We wait for the wind to die down and the smoke to go away. (Sometimes the danger of fire is over but you still smell smoke) Metaphorically.
We wait for repentance and growth. We wait for God to give directions through the Holy Spirit. We wait in hope, trusting God.
Waiting for healing. Body, soul, and spirit. To feel better and be better. To be wiser and braver. To not waver or struggle so badly. All these things we wait for with groaning that cannot be uttered...the Spirit helps us in our infirmities.
It helps if we are joyful. To joy in God is to: JOY AND JOY AGAIN. The true meaning of Rejoice. Praise and worship to God, your Creator. So much joy right here.
Wait patiently. That means, according to James chapter 5 that you are not grumbling about it. In quietness and calm. Oh Boy, that's hard sometimes. It can feel like watching a cup of water spill on to something valuable and not being able to do anything about it.
Faithful in prayer. Constantly and Continually. Everytime you're burdened or tired or downright distraught. Every time you are just about to panic about the glass of water spilling on to that valuable thing...hit the faithful-in-prayer button. Stay there.
