Waiting for Relief

Waiting is hard, but God is at work while we wait. During Noah's long year in the ark, God reconfigured his posture toward the animal world, making him a more humble, cooperative, wondering steward of their lives. Above all, God was training Noah to trust him. We need to learn that same trust today. For Christians, our hope is not just in the "wind" that God uses to blow away the waters of chaos, but in his own Holy Spirit who lives within us, comforting, teaching, correcting, empowering and guaranteeing our permanent future with him.
