wait

it's astounding how many things i wait for in the course of a day.

i wait:

• in line at starbucks for my americano.
• for my computer {some days more than others}.
• for buses.
• on coworkers.
• for dinner to finish cooking.
• for a friend to call me back.

but of all the things i wait for, usually with at least a semblance of patience, i seldom remember to wait on God.

i say to myself, "the Lord is my portion; therefore i will wait for him." the Lord is good to those whose hope is in him. ~lamentations 3:24-25

nothing else is nearly so important.
