Ever feel like you want to just grow up and be done with all the studying… and just have what you want NOW!!? Some of my friends called me patient after observing me on the basketball court… but in reality, I need more patience in life. There is nothing wrong with striving towards a goal, but when I want something more than God, it becomes idolatry. Our desires for career, money, respect, and family must be in submission to God’s plan and be sought after for His glory. May we learn to be content with God in whatever circumstance of life The Sovereign has placed us in.
Psalm 130
Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD!
O Lord, hear my voice!
Let your ears be attentive
to the voice of my pleas for mercy!
If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
But with you there is forgiveness,
that you may be feared.
I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
my soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning,
more than watchmen for the morning.
edit: hermenutical question… is this passage talking more about awaiting redemption?
