esterday I was able to finally secure a driver's license after 3 years of always expiring student permits. I had to wait all afternoon just looking at the TV showing informative lecture on driver's exam (which proved to be of value). There's been an offline, an emergency meeting, and too much people.
It is hard to wait, but the goal of getting something achieved at waiting helps us to hope. The hardest thing about waiting is when we are not sure of what the result of our waiting is. From one of the books I read it says, 'forgetting is painful, waiting is painful, but not knowing which way to go is the hardest kind of suffering' (do I still remember the lines?).
I realize that when we face the waiting, we can always look at what God can do with our character with our waiting. It isn't actually the end goal that I am hoping to get but what I am becoming in the waiting. Patience, peace, sound mind, (and if I should add joy, though it's a bit crazy) . I know I can always wait, but it is my desire that God may use these waitings to achieve a character that can last longer than the waiting and to develop a character that will surpass little waiting to the greatest waiting.
These are but little waits we do: waiting for our turns, waiting in line, waiting for result. The bible tells us to take heart and wait for the Lord. This is the greatest waiting we will do and while we wait, God can work our characters if we allow Him to do so. Let our waitings be not in vain. Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.
