I used to think that the primary make-up of this life is held in waiting. Everyone waits. People wait for the next thrill, the next pleasurable event. Christians [should] wait expectantly for the Lord Jesus Christ’s return. We all wait for tomorrow, the next hour; we wait for the shift to come to its desired end. We wait to see what tomorrow brings, what our thirties are like, and the wait to see the truth of the weather forecast. Our attitudes are greatly affected by what we expect, and so, what we are waiting for.
I find, however; that I am half wrong.
I now see that choice is a great color in life’s make-up. Putting aside what “choice” means in regards to the Lord’s will and His predestination of our lives, we have a choice in all things. What we are hopefully waiting for will affect these choices. Sometimes, our choices change our perspective on our wait.
Suddenly I see that choice and hope are the main possessions of humankind.
Dauntingly enough, all mankind stakes their lives on these two elements.
For what have you chosen to wait?
