Journey With Jesus 365Sample

How can we best use our “waiting” periods in life?

Zacharias was responsible to perform the duties of the priest’s office. In spite of his and Elizabeth’s desire for a child, Zacharias remained faithful to his responsibilities. They found themselves in their old age, and yet they still did not have a child. For many years, they had prayed, and finally, the angel shared the great news that Elizabeth would have a child. This time of waiting in their life did not deter them from fulfilling their duties for God as believers. They did not waste all of these years becoming bitter or being controlled by disappointment.

What are you waiting for in life today? How are you spending your time while you wait for God to reveal His plan? What is the next best step you can take to grow closer to God while you wait?
