Why It's Hard to Wait on the Lord

Why It's Hard to Wait on the Lord

Ascension Team

Do you have an area of your life where you feel like you're waiting patiently for the Lord? Just as Advent is a liturgical season of waiting, our own lives are marked by seasons of waiting too. Dr. Sri reminds us that God often does his deepest work not in solving our problems, but in the very act of waiting.

Scripture Verses

Psalm 62:1
“For God alone my soul waits in silence;
from him comes my salvation.”

Matthew 11:2–11 

Matthew 11:2–6
“Now when John heard in prison about the deeds of the Christ, he sent word by his disciples and said to him, ‘Are you he who is to come, or shall we look for another?’ And Jesus answered them, ‘Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. And blessed is he who takes no offense at me.’”

Matthew 11:7–11
“As they went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: ‘What did you go out into the wilderness to behold? A reed shaken by the wind? … Truly, I say to you, among those born of women there has risen no one greater than John the Baptist; yet he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.’”
