What to do while waiting….

What is one thing in your life, right now at this very moment, that you feel like you’re waiting on / for?  In fact, you may be thinking of a few things 🙂

Merriam-Webster, defines “patient” as “bearing pains or trials calmly or without complaint.”  Would you say that describes your reaction when you are in the waiting season? Or, do you find it to be a little more challenging?!

For some of us, waiting seasons are the most challenging of all simply because of the “unknown” factor.  We can’t see what’s down the road or what’s coming, no definite timeline, or fix.

Not having this “peace” can make our “patience” pretty non-existent because what happens?……all we can see is the problem without a solution.

But let me encourage you today with what you can do when waiting.

Instead of worrying or fretting during waiting periods because of what you can’t yet see, one sure way to deepen your faith is resting in the promises God outlines in Habakkuk 2.

“Write the vision
And make it plain on tablets,
That he may run who reads it.
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry. 

This is one of my absolute favorite chapters to read because we’re provided very, very clear instructions!  So when you are waiting, you rest in the fact that “though it tarries,” “wait for it,’ “it will come”!

So wherever you find your mind wondering today, just pause and reread Habakkuk a few times and you will find instant peace, peace while you’re being patient.

Have a lovely week ahead!
