Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He
shall bring it to pass. Psalm 37:5
In the age of instant ‘everything,’ waiting can be very
difficult for me just as I suspect it also is for other people. Modern
technology is both a blessing and a curse. Don’t get me wrong, I would
have a hard time adjusting without all of this modern technology. I call it a
curse, because people expect to always reach you on a wireless device, via
email, by texting, at any given time, at any given point, on any given
day. We have grown so accustomed to having everything
instantaneously, no wonder it is so hard for us to be patient when God requires
a season of waiting in our lives!
It’s in those moments that we are waiting on God to bless us
that we must rely on our trust in Him. When we choose not to trust in God
with our needs, we become fearful and anxious. The Bible is filled with
many examples of God’s people remaining faithfully patient and trusting in Him,
and no story better illustrates this than the night the disciples encountered a
storm on the Sea of Galilee. Every disciple on that boat thought
that they were surely going to die, that was, until they saw Jesus walking on
the water towards them. With a simple command, Jesus silenced the storms
and waves to be still.
The disciples learned how to trust Jesus during the worst of
times, so while we are patiently waiting on Him to answer our prayers, chances
are He is wanting us to reach out to Him and wait for His outstretched arm.
