Waiting

b'Did you grow up playing \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153I Spy\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d? It\\u2019s a great game to play on long car rides. Because the hardest part of long car rides is the waiting till you get there.\\nWaiting is never fun.\\nAs Christians, we have to wait for many things. We are waiting for Christ\\u2019s return, and, in the meantime, we often wait for answers to our prayers. A wise Christian once told me God always has one of three answers to prayer: yes, no, and wait. While we know God is good, waiting to see His answers and the unfolding of His promises is hard.\\nWhen we are in the midst of waiting, we can trust that God is good and we can stand on God\\u2019s promises in Christ. One of those promises? God is so good that He is working all things\\u2014the good and the bad\\u2014for good for all those who love Him (Romans 8:28).\\nAnd here\\u2019s some great news: God will never break His promises. We might have to wait for His timing, but He will always keep His promises. \\n\\u2022 Can you think of a time when God answered your prayer with a wait? \\n\\u2022 Why is it important to remember God\\u2019s promises when you are waiting for something? \\nIt is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
