What kind of waiter

Have you ever been a waiter? I don't mean the person who takes someone's order and brings that person's food to him/her. Though I respect those servants immensely, it is not the type waiter I am referring to.

No, I mean, a waiter, as in "waiting for something". Haven't we all been waiters. We wait until we are a teenager. We wait until we are sixteen, so we can get our driver's license. We can hardly wait until we are eighteen and graduate. We can't wait until we go to college and become our own "boss" (yeah, like that's how it works out). But, are you are good waiter?

Today's word is Psalm 27:14, ESV, which reads, "Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!"

I admit that I am not a very good waiter. I am prone to say, "Well, if it needs doing, let's do it." Or, "We aren't getting any younger, let's do this." But, sometimes, we have to wait. GOD is doing things in the background, in preparation for what is about to take place, and, just like baking a cake, we have to wait for things to get done. We can rest assured, just like the cake, that when GOD completes it, it will be worth the wait.

While I will NEVER be a good waiter, I am trying to get better at it. I am trying to practice today's verse and be strong and courageous, patiently waiting on GOD to do His thing in His time. We can be sure that GOD will never leave us, never forsake us, never keep us waiting. So, what kind of waiter are you?

Be Blessed,
