Would you rather….Wait in traffic for work or wait at the dentist?
Wow! That was a rough one!
Let’s try again…Wait for a trip to Disney or wait for a baby to be born?
Regardless of the outcome, waiting is hard. Uncertain. Long.
Yet the object of our waiting makes it more tolerable – even enjoyable! The wait in traffic or the dentist keeps us focused on the present and the future. The wait for vacation or a new baby keeps our hope on the future!
The Christmas season is a good time to study waiting. Imagine the Old Testament saints waitinggggggggg for hundreds of years for the promised Messiah to come. Their hope was on the future with great trust! Ours should be too!
