waiting

Waiting means we are usually hoping for something.  We hope for a solution to a problem.  We hope for a missing piece to make something complete.  We hope for an improvement on a condition.  I'm so glad the Bible tells us the truth, even when the truth itself is a little disappointing.  One of the Proverbs said this: 

Prov. 13:12        Hope delayed makes the heart sick, but desire fulfilled is a tree of life.

The writer was correct! Hope delayed results in WAITING.  One thing we can be sure of is this:  God's love and presence abides, even while we wait.  (1 Peter 1:8). Praise God!
