For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly “WAIT” for the savior, the lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to His glorious body, according to the working by which he is able even to subdue all things to Himself.
Today, we reflect on waiting and our attitude during the period of wait. For many of us, patience is not what is cultivated. Waiting make us inpatient, it makes us feel like we sometimes need to skip the process. No doubt, some waiting are good while some sucks.
However, we need to understand that waiting is part of our lives as Christian. In our world today, Christians are made to understand that God’s blessings is quick and sowing a seed to impress God to get a quick reward is a bad theology. These bad theology give Christians hard time to wait on God.
In today’s sermon, we reflect on the life of Joseph who waited on God for 24 years, Abraham waited 25years and David was anointed at the age of 15 and waited 22 years before he became the king of Israel. Let us therefore emulates the lives of these servant of God who waited patiently for God’s time so that our joy may be complete in Christ Jesus. May God’s grace be sufficient for us all Amen.
