Reading: Romans 8:25
“But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with
patience.”
Too often I cannot wait with patience. Too often I have not
grown past the demands of a toddler when I wait with an attitude of
fretfulness, or an insistence of now.
To hope is to trust completely.
The Lord has promised us that we will be made in His image. Often
we have a long way to go. Sometimes it is good that we don’t see the road ahead,
especially if we have a tendency to turn our version of disappointments into
complaint. Or an attempt to manipulate our perceived outcome.
To hope is to trust that the Lord’s dreams and imagination
He begins in us will become a reality—in His time and not ours. Will be
authentic by the Spirit’s counsel and not a cardboard copy of our false
imitations.
Thank you, Lord, for the seeds You sow in us to prepare us for
the journey. Show us how to wait in Your peace with trusting patience.
To still hope regardless.
Psalm of Worship: Proverbs 8:24
“When there were no depths I was brought forth, when there
were no springs abounding with water.”
