Can you wait for God?
“It sounds like you’re in a season of waiting”, Bill told me.
It made sense.
There’s only one problem.
I hate waiting!
But…
I was reminded about waiting by today’s sermon. “God waits until the last minute.”
Abraham’s hand was poised above his son’s chest. The knife glinting above the mountain side.
Shadrach, Meshak and Abednego were being thrown into the fire. The men casting them to the flames all died.
It was in that moment. The deciding moment that God’s deliverance arrived.
The Israelites were caught at the Dead Sea’s shore with the Egyptian army at their back. They could hear the angry screams and metal of the chariot wheels advancing towards them.
As the pastor said, “I would have written the story differently. If I were in charge, I would deliver you sooner. But God is wiser than I am and He loves you more than I do.”
