"I hate waiting" - Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin) from "The Princess Bride" "The German said to wait here." - bartender (Fred Asparagas) from "The Three Amigo's" "I wait for the Lord, My soul waits, I wait for the Lord" - Jeremy Camp from "Carried Me - The Worship Project" "Now wait a minute" - The Ronelles "Shout" "I would have more patience if God would hurry up!" - "unknown" - adopted by Craig M. Casey Why is it that waiting is so hard? You try to be patient. You try to do what you know is right. You cry out to the Lord to reveal His plan to you - and still - you wait. Some things are so clear...others are not. And yet in the midst of frustration (and waiting) I know that God is bigger than any and all situations. He has a plan! I must Trust in Him and in His plan. David says in Psalm 38:15 "I wait for you, O LORD; you will answer, O Lord my God." And so will I. I will pray...I will fast...I will seek His face...I will wait. Romans 8:18 - 27 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed. 20For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the glorious freedom of the children of God. 22We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. 24For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what he already has? 25But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently. 26In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. 27And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.
