Seasons of Waiting

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 3

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: 2 a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; 3 a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

A Time for Everything

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

5 a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 a time to tear, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.

Waiting For An Answer

When will I get a raise?

When I get my own car?

When will I feel better?

When will I stop hurting?

Isaiah 40:28–30

Have you not known? Have you not heard?

The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.

Isaiah 40:28–30

29 He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. 30 Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted...

40:31

31 but they who wait for (hope in) the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

Waiting Is Not Passive But Active Preparation!

Micah 7:7

“But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.”

Romans 8:25

“But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.”

Galatians 5:5

Hebrews 6:15

“And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise.”

James 5:7-8

“Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.”

“I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word, I put my hope. 6 I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning”
