Until God opens the next door - praise Him in the hallway! - Anon
Even while in exile hoping to return home Daniel still sought God at least 3 times a day. WOW!
Waiting, Ugh! No one likes it. We all seem to have better things to do with our time. People to see, places to go, money to make.... REALLY? Waiting is a reality of life, it teaches us patience, endurance, and dependency -we can't do it alone. And the trick to make it not seem unbearable is to find something enjoyable to do to pass the time. Truthfully, there is nothing more enjoyable and rewarding than praising God. No matter that it may appear our life is standing still and God seems not to be in a hurry, praise Him. Just like 'whistling while you work' seems to make the job easier and the time fly, praise seems to bring God closer and answers quicker. So if you're waiting on God what have you got to lose by giving a little praise? It couldn't hurt!
Until tomorrow.......

"Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him." - Isaiah 30:18
