The poem of the month for October is ‘And Yet We Wait’.  These words deal with having patience and waiting for God’s perfect will even if it is taking too long.  We are often tempted to be like Sarah, Abraham’s wife and help God’s plan along because with each month that passes we get older and older knowing that we would never be able to bear a child.

We wait for prayers to be answered; graduation day; the perfect job; husbands to marry; purchasing our first home, working in the ministry and the list goes on. We know that just beyond the bend we will see the Promised Land.

You said you know all that we need, You promised that we would not want, You said you would supply all our needs, You promised to be sufficient. We trust your mercy Lord, We trust your loving kindness, We trust your never failing compassion, And yet we wait… From Poem of the Month – And Yet We Wait

The secret to waiting on God is not to be idle as we wait.  As the ten servants were told after they were given the money in Luke 19:13, ‘put this money to work until I come back.’  As we live in the present, work in the present and shine our lights in the present we are preparing for the future that God has in store for us. In his sovereignty, he sees the whole picture and sometimes the blessings he has in store for us can only be fully appreciated when we allow his grace to prepare us and build our character as we wait.

Isaiah 40:31 tells us that when we wait on the Lord that he renews our strength, when we run we will not grow weary and when we walk we will not faint. May God teach us how to wait.
