Waiting is….tough. It feels like much our lives is spent waiting on something. Or someone. An outcome. Or an answer. Why does God allow us to go through seasons of waiting? What should we do while we wait?
“March around the city for six days…On the seventh day, march around the city seven times.” Joshua 6:3
I love the story because the fortified walls of Jericho crashed down. And God’s people won the victory. But why the waiting? Why did God ask them to walk for days before He brought down the walls? I don’t know. But I can relate. And I don’t think it was wasted time. God was doing a work in their hearts before He did a work in the walls. Both were needed. Faith was being built. Courage was growing. Fear was being silenced. Obedience was on display. THEN, God brought down the walls.
If you’re waiting, God is working. It isn’t wasted time. Keep walking. Keep believing. Wait with faith.- Sandi
