Hello! I’m happy to be back with you one last time. Hasn’t this been such an awesome study?!
We did it! We spent the past five weeks learning to find peace in God’s pauses and plans. Do you feel you have a deeper understanding of your wait?
My hope is that your spiritual tool belt is filled with applicable tips from our book, so your circumstances feel more manageable.
Like many of you, I’ve had multiple “waits.” Some have come to a completion, while others are still in progress. And because waiting can feel really hard at times, I’m thankful that trusting God’s timing is a step we’ve been learning to take during this study.
Throughout Wait and See, Wendy Pope provided us with many tips to help our waits feel less overwhelming. Tips like:
- Be close to God through quiet time and prayer
- Read, study and live out His Word
- Surround yourself with supportive friends
- Tend to your “pasture” while in your wait
Now, when the timing of my wait feels hard to grasp, it’s easier to remember these wise words from Wendy Pope in Chapter 9:
“Things don’t always turn out exactly as we planned, but things always turn out as God planned.”
Yes! When our wait feels hard to accept and it’s difficult to surrender control to God, we can remember that every promise God makes is fulfilled ... even when we feel it’s taking too long. Amen?!
Thank you so much for joining our #WaitAndSee OBS. We’ve enjoyed walking beside you.
