Waiting = Protection

Psalm 46:1; Isaiah 55:8-9

Waiting can often be difficult, but do we ever consider that God makes us wait to protect us? Think about the times when you’ve wanted to do something or say something, but it didn’t work out. Maybe you became sick or technology didn’t work to send a text or email. These roadblocks that caused us to wait might very well have been God protecting us from the wrong people and wrong situations.

Questions for further thought:
1. When was a time when you didn’t want to wait but God caused you to wait anyway for your own protection? 
2. What have you learned about waiting and God’s protection? 

Challenge: Pray for the awareness to know that sometimes having to wait means that God is protecting you.
