Wait And Be Renewed

In a very wonderful way, (as only God could do) yesterday's preparation proved to be today's sufficiency. The word of God to the Apostle Paul is still a relevant encouragement for our present circumstances ~ "My grace is sufficient for you." [2 Corinthians 12:9, NIV]
Waiting never comes easy to me. Honestly, I tend to border on neurotic when it comes to playing the waiting game. I'm great when it comes to expecting outcomes 'here and now', but not so when the answers are untimed ~ such as 'soon' or 'it shall come to pass". This was brought to mind as I sat in the emergency room with my wife from 10pm last night until 2pm today, when she was discharged with the words, "The specialist will let you know exactly what's happening when you see him soon" [later this week ~ arrrggh!].
The act of waiting upon an outcome can certainly have either negative or positive effects on people, and, in this case, I was geared up to approach it with a positive mindframe. After all, wasn't God's 'yesterday' reminder to us, "Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength"?
The words of a chorus we often sang with the worship team while appointed to Traralgon Corps seem so appropriate as we continue to wait trustingly on God.

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!

ALL THE TIME, GOD IS GOOD!
