Much of my days have been filled with teaching patience to my 3 year old daughter. How do you teach patience to a toddler? No, seriously, I need to know. It’s hard but as I’m teaching her about patience I just see God in heaven sitting back on His thrown like, umm hmm, isn’t that what I told you; to wait on me, to trust me? I’m always a little convicted because as I’m teaching baby girl I know this is something I need to work on myself; trusting God enough to wait on Him. Just the other day I came across

Psalm 27:14. It reads:

Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD. (NIV)

Waiting on God takes a special kind of bravery. It takes strength. It takes heart. Waiting on God is not taking the easy way out. Waiting on God means battling our flesh, the temptations of this world and sin to receive God’s best. I’m reminded of the prophet Elijah from the Bible.

God told him to wait on Mount Horeb because the presence of the Lord was about to pass by. Then something interesting happened. Read this entire article on The Praying Woman.
