"He that can have Patience, can have what he will." -Benjamin Franklin
It's an uncomfortable feeling to be in the waiting place- that unspecified time when you are waiting for answers, longing for a hope to be fulfilled, or wondering how a situation will be resolved. It's difficult to feel peace or have patience when we are desperate to be past the waiting place and in the place of resolution. But the waiting place offers us some unique gifts- a chance to find peace and joy in the Lord as we wait, an opportunity to fully rely on God's wisdom as we wonder, and a growth of character, strength, and patience as we hope. Whatever you are waiting for today, put your trust and hope in the Lord. Ask Him what He wants to teach you in this time, and embrace the calm of waiting with hope in Him.
"I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits,
and in his word I put my hope." Psalm 130:5
