Why It Matters

Why It Matters Waiting on the Lord is a theme woven throughout scripture. Waiting to enter a promised land. Waiting to see a city restored. Waiting for a Messiah to be born. There are some things we need to wait on God for as His plans unfold. Yet, there are other things God does not ask us to wait for, blessings He offers to us today. God’s joy and peace are not waiting for us at a particular destination. They are available to us in the here and now. Romans 15:13 reveals, as we trust in Him, we can be filled to the brim with joy and peace, overflowing in hope, a hope we can hold onto in our seasons of waiting. You can choose what you’re waiting for today. Wait for the new job, wait for the next step, wait for your big break. But don’t wait for joy. Don’t wait for peace. Trust the Lord and receive those blessings in full.
