The Christmas story is a grand demonstration of God's people waiting. 400 years from the last time God spoke to a prophet to carry forth a message from God. Hurry Up and Wait. 400 years puts my waiting to shame. A text in the next five minutes is generally considered waiting.
The verse for the week at church... Psalm 62:5 NASB "My soul, wait in silence for God only." I notice when I tried to simply wait, it was a flush of everything and trying to let God through the floodgates as well.Cooks are always making some sort of reduction sauce, the removal of water so that the flavors are what remain. So too a capacity to wait in silence just for God.To enjoy the richest of fare.
The Christmas story provides that contrast of what happens when God shows up after waiting. I pray that your life and mine would experience the same.
