It is said that good things come to those who wait. But, what about those much like myself who feel that they have waited long enough you may ask? Well, honestly I have thought this my whole life's existence, as it seems that I am always waiting on something. But the good news is that we all are in great company with the Biblical characters. Just reading the Hebrews chapter eleven "Hall of Faith" passage helps us realize that even in the waiting there is purpose and most importantly complete and further dependence on God.
I am extremely thankful that I waited until I was age twenty-eight to meet my future husband that God had for me. If I had not waited, I would be missing out on all of God's blessings that I am now enjoying and the life that Josh and I share! Because when I say "yes" to God, I stay under His protective hand. Doing so, I am then able to seek first God's Kingdom with Him, as Matthew 6:33 says.
Be encouraged!
For His Kingdom,
~S
Psalm 27:14 {English Standard Version}
"Wait for the Lord;
be strong, and let your heart take courage;
wait for the Lord!"
