Maybe its time to sit and wait

I realised the other day that I have blogged less and less as this year has gone by. Not sure whether this is because I have less to say or whether its because I have less time. Might even be both!

Anyway, I have been preparing a sermon over the past couple of days based on Psalm 27. Now, I keep being reminded that it is important to look at scripture in context, but I'm going to break this rule and give you final verse of the Psalm, which has really got me thinking. (If you want to put it into context well why not open a Bible, or even just put Psalm 27 into Goggle.)

Psalm 27.14 
“Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.”

Why has it got me thinking? Well I seem to be running around like a headless chicken at the moment. I cross things of a list then add ten more things to that same list. Life is so full but if I don’t spend time waiting on God, what’s it all for? If I don’t spend time waiting on God, am I actually missing the point?

Then again to ‘wait for the LORD’ seems very open ended. How long do I have to wait? Today, tomorrow, next week are all looking busy, I don’t have time to just sit and wait? This I think is an excuse we use far to regularly against why we can’t sit and wait on God, but I wonder what would happen if we did just stop and wait?

I fear that now is not the time to experiment, but maybe in my first sabbatical!
