What do you think about waiting? I think it’s a necessary evil. I have had to wait for many things over time, and it’s not always a pleasant experience. I mean who would not want to have whatever they wanted now?! I mean NOW!!! Why do we have to queue for BRT for instance, or wait for so long at TFC for a meal...yeah. We even have to wait for some of the mundane things. Any pregnant woman will tell you she wants her baby, now!!! What with the indigestion, lugging around of the extra weight, the hormonal changes, the weight gain, nausea (for someone who has never been pregnant before, se I try?) Anyone also waiting for recovery, as in after a sickness will also tell you he wants to get out of the hospital today!! Infact yesterday sef. But these waiting periods are necessary. If the pregnant woman is delivered before her time, she enters a fresh waiting period, this time for her child to gbo enuf for normal life, and if it’s too soon, then it’s a worse kind of waiting. For the convalesce who can’t wait for recovery, she risks going through it all over again. I have been there, and that's a story for another day, I heard wen!!!
When God created Adam and Eve, they had a simple enough instruction- till the garden and cultivate it. Everything they needed was to join them. Before we start cussing at them, the children of Israel also did same, when Moses went to the mountain for the law, and spent 40days coming back, even the high priest was tempted into idolatry. If you think its easy try sitting still in one position for 24hrs...u no fit. Yet the Lord said in returning and in rest shall our strength be...
It’s not an easy thing to wait. It’s tedious under any circumstance, but it’s a gestation period...a time of preparation. Though we are not to go into hibernation mode, we can engage in activities that make our waiting easier and prepare us for our expected ends. However, we have to be careful not to help God at this stage or engage in activities that will compromise the process.
God help us.
