While Waiting:
A great qoute from Dr. Dobson:
“My concern is that many believers apparently feel God owes them smooth
sailing or at least a full explanation (and perhaps an apology) for the
hardships they encounter. We must never forget that He, after all, is
God. He is majestic and holy and sovereign. He is accountable to no
one. He is not an errand boy who chases the assignments we dole out.
He is not a genie who pops out of the bottle to satisfy our whims. He is
not our servant - we are His. And our reason or existence is to glorify
and honor Him. Even so, sometimes He performs mighty miracles on our
behalf. Sometimes He chooses to explain His action in our lives.
Sometimes His presence is as real as if we had encountered Him face to
face. But at other times, when nothing makes sense- when what we are going
through is ‘not fair,’ when we feel all alone in God’s waiting room - He simply
says, ‘Trust Me.’” James Dobson

Wow. I never really thought of God as an errand boy, but that's a good description of my demands of Him at times. Makes me feel a bit small, and yet incredibly blessed and comforted at the same time. Hmm.....
