February 19

God's timing is not our timing, and this is one of the hardest lessons of the faith life. We pray, we wait, we wonder if we heard wrong or if He heard us at all. But Scripture is full of long waiters who received the promise in the fullness of time. Sarah waited. Joseph waited. The disciples waited in the upper room. The wait was not evidence of His absence. It was preparation for something more than they had imagined.
