Many (if not most) of us live in societies where the concept of waiting has been nearly eliminated. Instead of corresponding by postal letter that must travel long distances, we now send and receive instantaneous text messages on our cell phones. No longer do we spend an entire day cooking a roast; instead, we make one phone call and have take-out delivered within 20 minutes. Unfortunately, these modern advances threaten our ability to wait patiently on God’s perfect timing. When God calls us to wait on Him, we can avoid discouragement by reminding ourselves that His plan is a loving one that has our best interest in mind.
