Waiting

How long do you wait

for someone to return your call

for a friend to make an expected visit

for a bus or train or plane that's been delayed?

Waiting can be

frustrating

even for those mastering the elusive art of patience

in this instant gratification world.

You can look at it as a waste of your precious
ever
running
out
time.

The Bible says that those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength.

How long am I meant to wait?

And what will I do if
He arrives in a way
I'm not expecting
and I don't recognize Him?

How many of those waiting
for the Messiah
didn't recognize Him?

How many still wait?
