Waiting is a matter of humility. Like a demanding child, I want what I want... and I want it now. But when Jesus says “Wait,” bowing to His will and forsaking my own is painful. “Waiting” demands humbleness of heart and inner resolve not to take matters into my own hands. Trusting Him to fulfill His promise in His way and in His time is the essence of the humility to which I am called. I suspect learning humility may be more important than all the other things I think I want.
“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up,” (James 4.10).
