Sitting, waiting, waiting and waiting. What is it that you do during your time of waiting?
At the doctors office do you read a magazine, look at the picture on the wall in the waiting room? When waiting for your interview, are you nervous? When your in line waiting to check out, are you patient, inpatient? Do you make plans for the time your gonna be waiting?

I ask these questions because, there are times we can make plans to help us with waiting and then there are those times that we can’t plan and just have to embrace the waiting. But not everyone knows how to handle waiting.
Often times we can get anxious, frustrated and even impatient. For me I have learned to accept that which I can’t change. During those unexpected waits, I will ponder on the things that are pure, true and just. I strive and depend on the Holy Spirit to help me in maintaining a positive attitude and out look.
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
Philippians 4:8 NASB2020
Now during the times I can make a plan to help with time passing by during my time of wait, a good book, my tablet and snacks in my to go bag is always on deck.
So day if a time of wait presents it self, let the word of God in Philippians 4:8 be your anchor and light throughout the day.
Father often times we have to wait, sometimes we can be prepared for the wait and there are other times when the wait is unexpected, but despite the types of wait we experience. You have made provision and we can endure through the wait, assured and reassured. Keeping our minds, attitude and focus upon that which is positive, pure true and just. But there are also times of wait that we are weak and in need of help, help us through your holy spirit to stand strong in you and not surrender our peace in Jesus name Amen
