We are a fast paced society. We not only demand what we want, but we want it now. We eat at fastfood restaurants. If we actually visit our bank, it is through the drive-thru. Especially during the pandemic, we order everything, including groceries, online with express delivery. We can’t wait for the news on television so we get push bulletins on our devices.
Is there anything that is worthy of waiting for? Psalm 69:13 says, “But as for me, my prayer is to you, O Lord. At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness.” God will answer our prayers. He may not answer within the timeframe we expect. But he will answer in his steadfast love and saving faithfulness. I’d say that is worth the wait.
