Waiting

Psalm 130:3-6 (The Message)

^3-4 If you, God, kept records on wrongdoings,

who would stand a chance?

As it turns out, forgiveness is your habit,

and that's why you're worshiped.

^5-6 I pray to God—my life a prayer—

and wait for what he'll say and do.

My life's on the line before God, my Lord,

waiting and watching till morning,

waiting and watching till morning.

How much of our lives are spent waiting?

A lot, right?

Stoplights, waiting rooms, gas stations, grocery stores, traffic jams.

We wait, a lot.

We wait for God. Maybe we wait, impatiently, for the life, or job, or home, or person that we hope to have.

But in another sense, there's no such thing as waiting. There is really only now. We're only waiting if we're focused more on the future than we are the present.

Of course we'll sit in traffic, and wait here and there and everywhere else. But we can choose to spend those moments in the presence of God and those around us. We can be fully present, even while we wait.

Life is short, so don't miss what happens in the waiting.

Grace & Peace,

Adam
