Read Psalm 90:1-12 NIV
For a thousand years in Your sight are like
a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night. (Psalm 90:4)
As a child, I loved the Christmas season. I loved
decorating the tree, driving to see the lights, singing carols, and watching
the Christmas specials on TV. The one thing I didn’t like was waiting for
Christmas to come. Weeks seemed to pass like years as my brother and I waited
for Christmas morning. My brother and I would wake before the dawn and beg our
parents to come to the tree so that we could open our presents. The rest of the
day was spent playing with the toys I had been dreaming of the day before.
Now that I am grown and have wide-eyed dreamers of my own,
I have learned that waiting is part of life, especially in my walk with God. I
have to remind myself often that God does not work on my schedule nor does He
count time the way I do. What seems like a long period of waiting for me is
merely perfect timing with God. When I grow impatient, I am learning to trust that
God is working out all things according to His plan in His time.
Father, teach me to trust that You are
working out all things according to Your will in Your timing. As I wait for You
to move in my life, grant my heart patience and contentment in every
circumstance. In Jesus’ name, amen.
