Throughout our life we will often be held in waiting, a state filled with a range of feelings from joyful anticipation to worry and dread. Consider this lab pup waiting patiently at the window, not in the least bit ready to “throw in the towel.” He is certain that his patience will be rewarded with a treat or two from the reception desk, as long as his legs can hold out. While this state of anticipation can challenge our patience and faith in daily life, we have a choice. We can either be tossed by the emotional tides of our circumstances or stand as an immovable force, anchored by our faith in Christ.
Philippians 4: 6-7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
