In the Waiting

There are times in life when God lets you wait. When circumstances are unclear and it seems like your future hangs in the balance. I'm in just such a time right now. Waiting is hard, it requires a lot of trust; it's unnerving. Everything would be easier if clarity came now, but as I look to Scripture for comfort I'm reminded of a few things. Here are just a few:

- My God is always with me and guides me with His counsel (Psalm 73:23-24)

- He is the strength of my heart and portion forever (Psalm 73: 26)

- He satisfies my desires with good things (Psalm 103:3)

- He is perfectly faithful, I have no reason to doubt (Isaiah 25:1)

- He will keep me in perfect peace if my mind is steadfast in trusting Him (Isaiah 26:3)

- His timing is intended to reveal His glory (John 11)

- If I believe, I will see the glory of the Lord (John 11:40)
