Love Month: Day 5

"Wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.

Psalm 27:14"

I can't say waiting has always been my best strong suit. In the process of waiting for something the anticipation can become pretty intense, as can the anxiety and doubts. As a daydreamer I can concoct all sorts of creative problems to stall my waiting, in interfere with whatever process I'm in, and I can often make the waiting agonizing and painful because I add nothing of value to the process.

I love that the reminder is to be "strong". In the waiting we have to continually return to the Father. Strength doesn't come from inside of us. It comes from being rooted in Christ, from finding my resolve in Him. In the waiting there can be peace and joy. In the waiting there can be comfort and reassurance, that God's best is around the corner.
