IN THE WAITING ROOM OF LIFE!

One of the hardest things for some people to do is to wait! Everything in this generation is on the fast lane. You can google questions rather than wait for an answer! You can order shoes online rather than suffer the long weekend lines at the retail store. You can book a flight ticket and do dinner reservations ahead of time rather than wait for a table at your favourite restaurant. Waiting, for many, is time wasting. However, you must understand that life is all about waiting! People wait all weeks for Friday, all year for summer and in some cases all their lives for happiness!

In fact, much of life is spent waiting. For instance, you didn't grow overnight; you took time to grow into an adult. You didn't graduate from school in one day; it took years! You wait or waited for your dream job, you wait or waited for your life partner, for child birth, for medical diagnosis, for book or contract proposal, etc. Life is full of waiting. All of these instances can make waiting seem futile and frustrating, but truth is, waiting can be valuable and rewarding.
Micheal Hyatt quipped: "While our natural inclination is to hate waiting, this period of uncertainty can actually be a time of great personal growth."

God doesn't operate any faster in the 21st century than He did in the 1st. His WORD cannot be broken and cannot be changed even by a D. SC thesis! Sometimes, you're tempted to think your God is too slow, but hear this: **Often when it seems nothing is happening, that is when everything is happening behind the scenes; you just can't see it! ** Every major figure in the Bible was forced to wait long periods of time before God brought their testimonies!

David was in the waiting room for fourteen years before the throne of Israel could be his. Esther was a queen in waiting! Job said, "I will wait till my change comes" (Job 14:14). Patience is not an ability to wait but the ability to keep a good attitude while waiting! That was why David said in psalm 40:1- "I will wait PATIENTLY for the Lord........" Some people wait HURRIEDLY for the Lord! Others wait GRUDGINGLY for the Lord! Few wait PITYING THEMSELVES!

Life is about appreciating what you have and waiting patiently for what you will get. Indeed, patience is bitter but it's fruits are sweet. Good things come to those who wait but better things come to those who are patient. Anything worth having in life is worth waiting for!
Truly God's time is the best concerning any event of life!

Abraham waited for twenty-five years before He got Isaac! Joseph passed through thirteen years in the waiting room of betrayal, false imprisonment and abandonment before he ruled Egypt. Moses spent forty years in waiting, tending and "baby sitting" sheep before God called him as a deliverer of His people! Whatever you are believing God for, wait! He will do it in His time. waiting time is not wasted time! It is preparation time! INSTEAD OF MURMURING AND COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS, INVEST YOUR WAITING TIME, by renewing your faith in God's power and faithfulness to do what He has promised

Refuse to cry or pity yourself! Use that waiting season to work for God, stay in His word and praise Him in advance for that upcoming testimony! yes, it will come! If Jesus waited in God for His hour, you should wait on God too for your hour! Waiting is not incidental of faith. Waiting is the DNA of faith.
Wait on the Lord and you will Never, Never end up in shame

Cheers!!
