Even when waiting feels uncomfortable, Scripture shows it can become sacred space for growth. Paul’s example teaches us that God works powerfully in seasons where time seems to stand still.

Like John the Baptist, we may doubt when God’s timing feels slow. But Jesus invites us to trust His ways and find soul-rest in His gentle care.

When life feels unstable, the instinct is often to flee—but God sometimes calls us to remain. Like the remnant in Jeremiah’s time, staying put in difficulty may be the very place where God plans to build, plant, bless, and deliver.

Waiting can feel unbearable, whether it’s just for a day or for a decade. I want to talk with you about how the prophet Micah helped me reframe what waiting really means—and how it’s not just about patience, but about trust in a God who never forgets His word.

Today, our waiting is with anticipation because we know the truth and the truth has set us free.

Just as God provided for Israel, we can trust that He is always working ahead of us, and our role is to approach Him with faith and expectancy, knowing He will meet our needs.

In the tension of Advent’s waiting, we are reminded that God’s timing is perfect, and through longing for His return, we find strength and hope in His promises.

Though we will continue to wait in this life, we don’t need to wait for abundant life—it has already begun, and God is always present, ready to hear from us and meet our needs.

Hebrews 12 emphasizes that God's discipline, while painful at times, is ultimately meant to cultivate righteousness and reflect His love in our lives.

Fall harvest time is a beloved season, marked by vibrant colors and the bounty of various vegetables, reminding us of the importance of sowing and reaping in both nature and life.

Endurance is not merely about waiting but is a transformative process that, according to Paul, increases our confidence in God’s promises and leads us to embody Christ’s attitudes and actions.

Reflecting on past experiences of God's intervention and the sacrificial love of Jesus empowers us to face each day with confidence, trusting in His presence through all circumstances.

Most of us have trouble waiting, especially for Christmas. Even more challenging is our wait for the second advent of Jesus.
