Glorify God in the waiting
As a teen I am always waiting for something, I am sure it is the same for you no matter where you are in life. "Waiting is a part of life" I've heard it a million times! How do you learn to Worship in the waiting?
When you were a child and you were with your mom waiting in line, at the grocery store, or the tag office, did you make a scene, did you throw yourself on the floor kicking and screaming that is how I feel sometimes. Waiting is not easy. What keeps you from throwing a fit now?
Is it fear of being judged? Or do you look forward to what you are waiting for. Even when you were younger you never minded waiting in line for a circus ride, you were impatient, maybe, but that anticipation that is what God wants from you. After all, we may wait for many different things, but we are still waiting for heaven.
I heard somewhere, I can't remember where, a story of a dog in the other room. When the dog's owner opened the door the dog jumped it the room tail wagging. The owner explained that the dog had never been in the room before, but jumped in the room without hesitation because he knew his master was there, and in the same way we, even though we may not know what is in the other room should not be afraid of death, but should look forward to being with our master.
Waiting gives us a chance to learn, it gives us a chance to pray, and worship. We are asked to show others to do the same. The best way to teach someone to do something, is to let them watch us doing it. Just as Jesus showed us to do.
The god who heard me, hears me and always will, is the God to whom I pledge my allegiance. I confess my sins to you God, your son is the door through which I find forgiveness. I ask that you be with those who are waiting, and give them the desire of their hearts. I will serve you while I'm waiting, I will worship while I'm waiting, I will not fade, I'll be running free, even while I wait. I will wait or you and your timing. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
