An Everyday Expression of Hope and Its Potential

An Everyday Expression of Hope 

While We Wait

August 19, 2018 by John Hembree Leave a Comment

WaitingExhausted, thirsty and eyes swollen. Why? Waiting for God to act.

“I have wept until I am exhausted; my throat is dry and hoarse; my eyes are swollen with weeping, waiting for my God to act.”  Psalm 69:3

We each can relate to this preceding verse.

In recent weeks, I have given myself to much thought concerning my own life.

And I have found myself in a place of waiting.

For how long?

I do not know.

The end result?

Neither do I know that.

The process of waiting?

Excruciating.

You may be waiting as well.

For something.

Anything.

Because we have no promise, no guarantee, for that which we are waiting to happen, actually will.

Life offers us no path to guaranteed happiness and contentment.

Yet we have this reminder, and even though at times, while waiting, I am like a screaming wounded beast, I always return to a calming faith.

“What is faith? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead.”  Hebrews 11:1
