This devotional felt like someone setting a lantern in the window for all of us still learning how to wait well. Your words reminded me that waiting on the Lord isn’t wasted—it’s worship. And it’s worth it.
“Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord.” —Psalm 31:24 (NIV)
Thank you, Kate, for introducing us to Hannah’s voice—I’ll be following “Through Heavenly Eyes” with anticipation.
Excellent…. A majority of the Christian life is learning to wait upon the Lord. I’ve learned there is also another dimension to it – – that of waiting, like a waiter in a restaurant who keeps his eye ever on the person being served that he may immediately meet his/her need. We keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, who alone can direct us to where the Father is working, so that we may join him there, as did our Master.

Thanks for adding your insight - you have a way with words!
Waiting is difficult, but also a time of freedom and preparation.
So true Rebecca!
