On Sunday afternoon, we looked at the flood account from Genesis 7 and 8. While this is often known as the story of God saving Noah, his family, and the animals, it is also a story of judgement on sin. All except 8 people died. The way this story is told emphasizes the reality of waiting as a believer. Noah knew that God was going to bring him to safety; he didn't know when this would be. He tried to find out with birds, but in the end he waited for God to tell him when to leave. Our Christian lives have a lot in common with this. We know that judgement is coming and our rest will come. Yet we wait. We trust that God will do the right thing at the right time. While we wait, we try to remain faithful and we trust in the One who is in control. Take time today to pray for Jesus' return, and to ask for patience while we wait.
