We can’t wait to start school, yet we just turned four. We can’t wait to be a teenager, yet we just turned twelve. We can’t wait to graduate from high school, yet we just started our junior year. We can’t wait to finish college, get a job, get married, have the kids grown, retire, and what? Die!
The Bible addresses this phenomenon and the best way to deal with it:
Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!
To get the most out of this very short life, trust God to deal you out one divine day at a time.
There is one appointment about which most people never say, “I can’t wait.”
And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment,
Don’t wait. Give it some thought.
