Heavy Waits

The Christian life is a walk of faith; we are as those who see the invisible. Much of our experience in this fallen world is designed by God to strengthen that spiritual sight. Thus, to be a disciple of Jesus Christ is to know that things are often not as they appear, but are always as he says they are. And, more to the point, things will turn out how he says they will turn out.

Relating this to our lived experience, we have godly desires which we long to see fulfilled, but usually we have to wait. Let us then imitate the faith of our father Abraham, who waited upon the Lord. In due time, he shall bring all our right desires to wondrous fulfillment, in this world or the next. For he himself has said, “No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly” (Psalm 84:11).
