Reflection for July 10, 2017

"But as for you, return to your God, hold fast to love and justice, and wait continually for your God."(Hosea 12:6)

Tom Petty once sang that the waiting is the hardest part.  I think that is true.  Really doesn't matter what we are waiting for.  And it is especially hard when it is something we long for.

To wait for God is hard. God's time is not measured the way we measure time.  We can't say for certain time or date, but in hope we wait none the less.  It is what we hold onto while we are waiting that is important.  We can hold onto love and justice or we can get impatient and grasp for something more like straws.  But in order to hold fast to what is actually profitable, we need to first return our affections to the source.

Blessings,
Ed
