A few weeks ago when Beckie and I took a vacation to Florida to see some dear friends, we got to the airport and found that our flight was delayed about an hour and one half. What a bummer! We were all stoked and ready to be on our way to the warmer winds of Florida and now here we sit in the airport with many other anxious mid-westerner's wanting to feel once again the warmth of the sun on our face. There were those who took it all in stride and others yet who were angered. But when we found out that the delay was because they needed to "De-ice" the plane from were it was coming from, attitudes quickly changed as we all realized that it was all for our safety.
You and I are no different when it comes to faith issues as well. We want God to answer prayers now and not in His time. The word wait as you see is just another foul four letter word in our vocabulary! But, don't you just hate it when there is, BUT! But when we wait, even anxiously on the Lord His promise to you and I is to grant us Hope in the matter we are anxious about. He promises to renew our strength as He wait for His guidance. This coming Easter Season, a season of Hope, New Life and Miracles, be still and "Wait" for what God has in store you. And if you find it hard to wait upon Him, maybe your heart needs to be "De-iced" so that you are open to the goodness of God that comes in those waiting times.
Have a joyous and Blessed Holy Week, Love Ya' Pastor Rick
