Worship in the Waiting

FFH had it right when they said: " I will worship in the waiting." We have been waiting for so long. Some times we didn't even know what we were waiting for anymore. A new job, a new life, a new place to live, a new church, a new beginning, an ending, and change.

But was that what we were really waiting for, could we have been waiting for something more? Matthew: 24 36-44

No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,^abut only the Father. ³⁷As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. ³⁸For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; ³⁹and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. ⁴⁰Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. ⁴¹Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

⁴²"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. ⁴³But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. ⁴⁴So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.

Then it makes sense that what I am waiting for is not the same thing that Peter, Paul, and so many others awaited. They believed it would happen in their lifetimes and they lived their lives as a testament to that. Do I live my life as someone who believes Jesus is coming back not someday, but maybe tomorrow? How about you? Do you worship in the waiting?
