The Bible is full of stories of heroes on brutal journeys through the waiting. While David is waiting to be crowned king of Israel, he is on the run from a king who wants him dead. Paul is in prison while waiting to preach the gospel in another part of the world. Noah is waiting for rain to come while fielding doubt and dirty looks. The psalmist wrote, “Wait for the Lord; be strong and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for the Lord” (Psalm 27:14).
