Bible Note: Hi, Brother Lionheart! The word wait most frequently reminds me of "cooling my heals." Probably, because I'm an American. Doing half of what we do in life involves standing in line or listening for the magical word "Next!" :-) "For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance." (Romans 8:24-25) Isn't it interesting that when Paul uses the word "wait" he also speaks of perseverance! Clearly, he doesn't mean for us to be sitting idle. This is something I'll need to think about more. I don't believe I've ever done a study on "waiting on the Lord," nor heard a clear sermon or lecture about it. It will be interesting to see if the notion is the same in both of the Testaments. In Him, Doc |
