It was talking about no matter what happens in life, we will wait for God. I sometimes feel like I've spent my whole life waiting for God. Thats not to say I think I know better than Him, or that I think He's not doing His job properly... I just sometimes get frustrated with waiting on God. Cos I've been doing that for a long time... and I'm still waiting. So that made me think.... what does it mean to wait on God? Well this is what Louie Giglio says it means:
"the Hebrew word to hope and wait means this: those who stand right in the midst of the craziness, right in the midst of the pain, right in the midst of the chaos, right in the valley of the shadow of death. And they don’t gloss over it; they’re dealing with the hardest stuff in life. But they’re standing in the middle of it saying ‘I don’t see what God’s doing. I don’t understand what the plan is. But I will tell you one thing: I am not going to give up on God. And I’m going to stand RIGHT HERE in the middle of this moment and I’m going to trust that God is sitting on a throne, that He has a purpose for my life and a plan for my life. And I believe that I’m going to see the goodness of God in the land of the living and I’m not going to stop believing that no matter what.’"
Thats pretty big. Waiting for God means trusting Him even when everything around you is crashing down. It means keeping your eyes on Him, not focusing on the problems in front of you. I find that pretty hard to do. It sounds easy in theory... focus on God; not your problems. But in reality? Thats hard. The problems seem SO BIG!! But we're forgetting something... God is BIGGER!
