Simply Living ഉദാഹരണം

Waiting is not easy. Think of those long car journeys as a child. “Are we there yet?” 

Waiting involves patience. Often we make ourselves busy to fill up the time. While waiting for my husband and eldest son to return from a work trip recently, my other children distracted themselves in the hours by making "welcome home" posters.

In this passage of Isaiah, waiting does seem to be about resisting the urge to be constantly doing something, and instead putting trust in God. It is an encouragement to us if we continue in patience, because we get to see God come through and provide. The famous missionary Jackie Pullinger says, “The opposite of patience is not impatience, but unbelief.”

Is our busyness and our lack of waiting on God actually a reflection of a lack of trust in him?

Response: List all the God has provided for you. Give thanks to him for all he has done.
