I was in line at Mickey D’s this morning getting me some oatmeal and the wait was a little long. The car immediately in front of me was as the “pay” window. Well, I guess the wait became too much and he yelled a few choice words and sped off. It was almost comical how fast the line cleared after he drove off. I mean literally within one minute the three cars in front of him drove up and got their food. I got to the window and told the worker the food in her hand wasn’t mine and “whoever” must have been in a hurry and drove off. She looked confused and said, “Really? …….Well, he paid for it!” We both got a good laugh. If you think about it, isn’t that a lot like the Kingdom? We get impatient and miss what God has for us. We get angry and storm away from HIM, because something didn’t come in “our” time. We are in a hurry doing things that really don't matter on eternity’s scale. The sad thing is that what GOD has for us has already been paid for; we sometimes just have to wait. Isaiah 40:31 tells us that those of us who do “wait” upon the LORD “will” renew our strength. Help us LORD learn to wait!
Be blessed,
