Waiting times

10.24.2015
|
Daily Grace

Waiting is a part of life for everyone. Yet sometimes there are seasons of waiting that seem to go on and on, and there’s little you can do but wait. Those can be difficult times. We can draw on the resources of faith, prayer, reading the Word and meditating to make our waiting into a time of growth and centering. Reading the Bible reveals that our waiting time is not as much about delaying action as it is about waiting in God’s presence, in God’s word and in God’s will.

Please pray for Women of the ELCA’s executive board meeting in Minneapolis today. This message is adapted from “Waiting” written by Linda Johnson Seyenkulo in the September 2015 issue of Gather magazine.

Just as my daughter recognized herself in the historic election of America’s first female, Black, and Indian-American vice president, I long to recognize myself in the God-language of the church. christiancentury.org/article/… pic.twitter.com/IlZUfoOjnG
