As you
wait, tell yourself again and again that you have not been singled out.
Remind yourself that you are part of a vast company of people who are
being called to wait. Reflect on the biblical story. Abraham waited many
years for his promised son. Israel waited 420 years for deliverance
from Egypt, then another 40 years before they could enter the land God
had promised them. God’s people waited generation after generation for
the Messiah, and the church now waits for his return. The whole world
groans as it waits for the final renewal of all things that God has
promised. In ministry, it is vital to understand that waiting is not an
interruption of God’s plan. It is his plan. And you can know this as
well: the Lord who has called you to wait is with you in your wait. He
hasn’t gone off to do something else, like the doctor you’re waiting to
see. No, God is near, and he provides for you all that you need to be
able to wait. (Paul Tripp) - See more at:

In fact, I
am sure that God works in the wait. To refine. To allow us time to lean
in and lean on Him. I’ve shared this quote several times before, and I
think it’s worth sharing once again as we remind our tender hearts that
He has not forgotten us: - See more at:

Perfect! I never thought about the Lord calling us to wait - I only thought about Him calling us to adopt. Thank you so much for this, it calmed me instantly. http://weareuntilforever.blogspot.com
