Hosea 12:6
6 But as for you, return to your God, hold fast to love and justice, and wait continually for your God.
An integral part of our relationship with God is waiting. Not just waiting when we feel like it, but continually waiting.
Waiting on God helps us to focus on God. Being still before Him is an act of humility and submission. When we wait, we submit ourselves to God’s will, God’s time, God’s plan and God’s purpose.
When we wait, we recognize our dependence on God and acknowledge that it is not our will or our strength, but God’s.
Waiting on God speaks of our love for God.
And in that love we dwell continually.
May the love of Christ be with you,
Rev. Eric Lanier (Retired)
