Have you ever experienced this: You're on board an airplane, excited to get to your destination, you've flown through some pretty rough and turbulent skies, you're finally at your destination, but you can't land because your pilot been instructed to stay in a holding pattern before he can land the plane? So you stay strapped into your tiny little airplane seat, scrunched up against some unfamiliar people, yearning to touch down on the land and begin your journey at your destination point...but you can't because you're stuck in this time of just "waiting"?That's how I feel today, as if I'm in some sort of holding pattern, just waiting and yearning to begin the next journey in my life...but I'm stuck waiting. Waiting for what, I don't even know! All I know is I'm circling the skies, just out of reach of my final destination.
It's not so bad, I guess, being in this holding pattern. At least I've already made it through my last bumpy and turbulent ride where I was strapped in for dear life and holding the arm rests of my airplane seat in a tight grip, trying not to lose my latest meal as my stomach churns and churns, and praying for God's deliverance.
The skies are clear now, the turbulence gone, and I just sit and wait for what's down below.
"Whether you turn to the right or the left, your ears will hear a voice saying, 'This is the way, walk in it.' " Isaiah 30:21
"Wait for the Lord. Be strong and take courage. Yes, wait upon the Lord." Psalm 27:14
