Meditations from Zion

Psalm 27:14
Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.

I know He forgives. I know He hears. I know He knows. And so I clamor… what is taking so long? What more must I do? And today, He says, “Wait!” I dislike waiting. It doesn’t feel active enough…. at least, not in my heart. Intellectually, I understand…. but waiting in the heart, feels like an endless time of sitting on my hands.

Waiting at the crosswalk… when the light is yellow and I could still make it.
Waiting at the RR crossing… when the train is in sight, but a long way away… I could still make it.
Waiting by choice is much more difficult than waiting because of outside constraints.
