jesus waits

Opening Prayer: “I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope.” (Psalm 130:5)

Scripture: Hebrews 10:11-14

Journal: Where and how are you waiting for the Lord these days?  How do you feel about that?  What consolation does it give you that Jesus knows all about waiting and can meet you in the midst of it?

Reflection: Jesus waits.  That’s right, Jesus waits.  Jesus waits for his enemies to be made his footstool.  In other words, although the redemption of Jesus is full and complete, he still waits for that redemption to be revealed, just like we do.  He has redeemed us (and all things) in full, which is why he was able to sit down—his work was done.  We, however, will not be able to see and experience the fullness of that redemption until the end.  Therefore, if we are weary and frustrated and losing heart in our waiting, Jesus is wonderfully able to meet us and to help us in the midst of it.

Closing Prayer: “My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.” (Psalm 130:6)
