Psalm 119:33-40

Psalm 119:33-40
Common English Bible (CEB)

  Do you ever become impatient?  Do you want a situation resolved now, not later?  Do you want to know now, not sometime in the future?  Do you want to be there, rather than dealing with the mess here that you have to wander through in order to get there?
  It's hard.  It's hard to wait, to grow slowly, to take baby steps when we want to leap to the conclusion.
  But God calls us to walk faithfully, to live step-by-step, to trust him through the process, rather than just in the conclusion.  We learn about God, about how to glorify and honor him, about how to serve and praise him.  We learn slowly, and we accumulate wisdom over a lifetime.
  We want it all now.
  But trust in God.  Your life is a growing process, and we are called to faithful endurance in Christ.

May we take a single step today
