When we read these words in scripture do we see that all arguments fall? Do our ears ‘perk up’ realizing that the words that would be coming next were/are critically important for us and how we become us? Does our attention focus?

Do you get those feelings that you’ve missed it? Or worse, blown it? That all you’re currently doing is marking time and or languishing somewhere at the back of a very dusty shelf?

How did this make you feel? Slightly embarrassed? Irritated?
In April, 2020 a Grace Covenant Church’s article stated: “Biblical waiting is not a passive activity, but is demonstrated by active dependence upon and obedience to God.” I’m sure others have also come to this realization. Too often we do think that if we wait, that’s what we do… wait (think – twiddle thumbs). I don’t
Ever wonder about this? Or since there is a sufficient amount of drama and chaos that whoever should be in charge… isn’t. Who should? Should you be in charge? Maybe you should but you don’t have the authority? Does this only happen in work situation or volunteer ones as well … in your family? All
