Romans 8:25 (ESV) "But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience."It finally grew out! Have you ever hit your fingernail and then had to wait for the bruise of the nail to grow out? It seems to take forever, and yet one day, when you least expect it, you find that the nail bruise is gone! Today's verse speaks about hoping for what we do not see but waiting patiently for it! As I noticed that my nail was finally "clean" of the bruise, I couldn't help but think that sometimes prayer is like that. You pray for something, but nothing seems to be happening, then you keep praying and one day, it happens. With the invention of microwaves, cellphones, tablets etc, we have become a society of wanting and getting it NOW, but in God's World, we may have to wait for Him to act. The key of course is to learn to wait patiently, easier said that done but when we keep faithful in our prayers, God's Will will be done! Keep praying and wait patiently - He will surprise us like never before! peace, tom
