When it comes to our troubles—in some cases trouble so tenacious it’s become our identity—only the Lord can deliver us from trouble we’re in. And he will. Recall this encouragement from two weeks ago: “You need to get ready. Where you are is not permanent. Where you’ve been isn’t where you’re going.” God may not do it in the way we’d do it, but he hasn’t forgotten us and he is going to do it. Thus the psalmist sings (Ps. 130:7b), “…keep waiting on the Lord, for he is tenderhearted, kind, and forgiving. He has a thousand ways to set you free!”
That's Not the Way We'd Do It

Waiting Like Simeon

Almost everyone hates waiting, even when the thing we are waiting for will be well worth the wait. Waiting on God can be some of the hardest waiting there is. We can learn how to shift our perspective while waiting by studying the example of Simeon and Anna, who we meet in Luke chapter 2. They are examples of waiting with anticipation that leads to attentiveness and action.
