While.

“While You’re working, we aren’t just waiting. We’re walking.”

God is working all the time. He works tirelessly on our behalf and does more behind the scenes than in front of us. That’s why The Lord asks us to simply, “Believe.”

Even when we can’t see it or feel it, He is at work. Such times are often called, “waiting on The Lord.”

What I’m learning is this. Waiting is not passive, but active. It’s active spiritually. It’s where we learn to find the true delight of putting our hand in His, and simply caving in to the joy of the journey. Walking with Jesus means that He has gone into all our tomorrows. He has lovingly placed kisses from Heaven in each day we live. It may be a surprise gift from a loved one, an unexpected smile from a stranger that lights up our countenance or it may simply be the touch of a gentle breeze that soothes our soul. Walking with Jesus means to be alive to all that He has for us each day we are graced to embrace.

This Advent, I hope and pray, that as we continue to trust Him with all that He has promised to accomplish, we will not only wait, but learn to walk. Walk with a confident expectation of seeing His goodness not only on the other side of the promise, but even through the journey.

Blessed season to all as we walk joyfully hand in hand with The One who is not only coming, but is here with us.

Right here. Right now.

Hallelujah 🙌🏻
