Waiting is an unfortunate and challenging reality of life.  Everyday we are all forced to wait.  We wait at stoplights, in doctor’s offices, for computer’s to load, and for slow waiters to bring the check!  Much of the time, life is filled with as much waiting as it is DOING.

Some waiting is far worse than others.  It is most difficult when we are afraid, when some threat is looming over us and we do not yet know the outcome.  These are the moments when FAITH is tested.  To trust God when everything is going well is not faith. To trust Him when the outcome seems uncertain IS.

When we are waiting for God’s promises to become blessings, focus become an effective tool.  We focus in prayer and we focus on study, particularly upon the passages that tell of God’s promises.  Then, we focus upon living without being paralyzed by fear.  We “push on,” and when doubts enter our minds, we must push them aside with the memory of His promises and faith that they WILL come true.
