Last night we had a great time in the YA Community. We had a great time of worship and a good word was shared that applied to all of us, at least at some point we will all face the topic. Torrie Bagley shared from a new curriculum called, “InTransit – What Do You Do With Your Wait?”. We will look at this subject once a month over the next several months. In November it will be on the 18th.
Lesson Notes from Wednesday, October 28:
We wait and we wait … for what’s next, for the right person to come along, for the perfect job, and for the right time to buy our first home. We wait when we don’t know what to do next, and people come and go from our lives during the process. And most of the time, we don’t like the wait.
A comment was made that in the waiting our focus should not be on the wait rather it should be on God. We took some time to briefly examine the lives of Joseph, David and Jesus. These are men who had to wait many years to see God’s promises come to pass. As we discovered last night their lives hold great insight for us as we discover there is great purpose in the waiting. God uses the times we wait to sharpen our sense of awareness and to teach us a better understanding of His timing and faithfulness.
Take away points from the night:
1. Choose to look to the future with hope.
2. Discover and develop stuff you like to do.
a. During the wait do something – for others specifically.
3. Enjoy your freedom.
a. Don’t look at the wait as a weight – do something with the time you have that is positive.
4. Realize that everything passes.
5. Choose to make your wait about God instead of about the wait.
I hope that all that were here last night and those that are reading this will be challenged to look to God during the times you are in the middle of your wait.
See you next Wednesday - JD
