While we are waiting for God to act and tell us the next steps we should take, God is continuing to work in our lives. He uses the time in the waiting room to train us and get us ready for the new things we will be facing. We can use that waiting time wisely or we can moan and complain about our lot in life and the fact that God seems far away. I confess that I have often been in the latter group, but as I age (and hopefully mature more in Christ), I am more likely to ask God to use the season of waiting to get me ready for the next challenge. As the devotional points out, once the waiting is over, we have a tendency to totally forget the hardships of waiting and to bask in the current blessings. Instead, we need to continue to reflect on what we learned in the waiting room and use the resources and training that God provided there to carry us successfully and righteously through the task He has set before us.
