When Waiting is the Hardest Part…

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers had a hit song titled, “The Waiting Is the Hardest Part”.   The words revolve around the singer claiming he has finally found the right girl…not really sure what the “waiting” is…and maybe I don’t want to know. Anyway, often the waiting is the hardest part. We know a vacation is going to start but not until next week and we have to wait. We know graduation is around the corner but we have to wait. We ordered the new car but can’t wait for it to be delivered. We want God to deliver on His promises but we have to wait…

In Psalm 27 we have a glorious expression of who God is. Here is a link to the entire Psalm which I encourage you to read: Psalm 27 . The psalm ends with these words: Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord! How many times do we miss the blessings God has for us because we refuse to wait on them? God will never back out of His blessings but they often don’t come as fast or sometimes even in the way that we expect. Are we willing to wait on Him? Are we willing to be of good courage while we wait? God loves us…God wants the best for us and He, and only He, can bring that about. I know that waiting is hard but what’s the alternative? Without waiting on the Lord we might miss out on what He’s doing in our lives and how He wants to use our lives to impact others. Be willing to wait…you won’t be disappointed.
