Waiting

Future job that I thought of if I do resign as a social worker.. Hahaha...

Living in a fast-paced country like Singapore, almost everywhere we go are like fire-fighting. Hurry hurry hurry hurry hurry... Even walking is fast. Everything is needed fast. Reports, forms, etc.

No wonder, often times, I find myself impatient waiting on God wondering "Oh dear God, why are you late late late?". Bob Sorge, an author wrote:

1) Waiting is an act of humility

No one likes to wait. Yet, waiting is humbling because it is a posture of dependence upon God.

2) Waiting is an act of faith

We wait on God because we believe that God will come to us. Just like waiting for a bus, we know the bus is bound to arrive. Just a matter of time.

3) Waiting puts us in a receiving posture

We wait for God to give.. We do not take. When we wait, we wait to receive.

Isaiah 40:31 "But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength."
