—Isaiah 49:22-26
by: Victoria Shephard.
Are we willing to wait on God’s timing, or do we jump the gun when God says “Wait”? Sometimes we are not to do anything but sit tight and “hopefully wait” for the Lord (v. 23). I remember trying to find a room to rent. Even before I saw the room or met the woman in person I had a bad feeling. I pushed past the discomfort, going so far as to hide my faith during the interview so I could get the room. Needless to say, living there was a disaster and lasted only 9 months. I wish I’d listened to God and waited.
