True. I am thinking that fear can cause us to make rash decisions, so we need courage from God to face uncertainty and be patient. Thanks for reading and giving me something to reflect on.
The topic of waiting also reminded me of King David and the Psalms. While I am waiting, I need to constantly remind myself of truths from God’s word. I hope you have a lovely weekend!
Jolene, Thanks for reading. I find this verse encouraging, “For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through the endurance taught in the Scriptures and the encouragement they provide we might have hope.” (Romans 15:4, NIV). May you have a lovely weekend also.
