Micah 7:7 But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.(ESV)
Waiting is hard. Waiting to get confirmation of good news. Waiting to hear with the expectation of bad news. Waiting just because we’re bored and don’t know what to do or even because we’re so overwhelmed that the only thing that makes sense is to wait.
The wait comes with it’s own weight.
When you’re already tired from the journey, extra weight is only magnified. When you’re overwhelmed and just need to sit for a bit, any extra weight can keep you from moving forward. There are real consequences to waiting.
There are some real benefits to waiting as well. It can be a period of rest, preparation, reflection, prayer, and great expectation. Waiting can be a simple reminder to trust in God’s timing (Isaiah 40:31) or to take the time to pray (Philippians 4:6-7).
Always remember, whatever the reason for the wait, seek the Lord while waiting (Lamentations 3:25) and your time will never be wasted.
