Advent is a season of waiting. This is a good time to practice the virtue of patience. The Lord is not slack about His promise. However, we sometimes act as if He is. We want things done in our timing and in our way. But the Lord knows best.
The Lord Jesus arrived at just the right time in history. God’s people had been waiting for a very long time. They may have even thought it was too long but it wasn’t.
Anticipation is good. Expectations of God’s blessings are good but we can ruin them if we grow impatient and try to usher in God’s works and God’s will through our world of control.
Rest in God and if you have tried to wrest control from God, then confess this impatience and wait upon Him. He will not disappoint you.
