All in Patience and Waiting

Modern day people who live in small towns and villages often leave them to make new homes in the larger cities; they find the allure of high paying jobs, the vibrance of city life, and all the activities that are immediately available to them there to be exciting and enticing, but the greatest draw is in the fact that they can have all these things “right now”. People of faith are often drawn to the worldly life for all the same reasons… we have become a “right now” society, and waiting on anything, even God, has become unacceptable to modern man. Waiting on God is like watching paint dry to many in today’s world, and yet waiting is certain, peaceful, and can calm us if we will trust in the Lord.
