April 17, 2019 - Waiting

“ ...what does active waiting look like? I think it can take a variety of forms, but our most natural response to waiting should always be worship. This might look like singing, arms outstretched. This might look like praying, knees to the earth. This might look like serving, palms up, hands open. All of this is worship.

When we worship, we take our eyes off our problems and unfulfilled promises and set our hearts on God. Worship puts God’s power and sovereignty over our lives into proper perspective. When we worship, we experience His greatness, His authority and His might... we also experience His presence.

It’s in His presence that we find His comfort and realize we’re not alone in the midst of our wait. It’s there where we also discover gratitude. In the middle of a waiting season, it can be hard to give thanks when we’re focused on what’s yet to come. Yet, worship shifts our focus, giving us eyes to see God’s goodness and a heart that’s grateful for all He’s done and yet to do.

Want to wait well? Start by worshiping God with your words, your thoughts and your actions.” Lincoln Brewster, While I Wait devo excerpts
