Beyond Waiting
It is the season of Advent in the Christian calendar! You probably know this! You probably also know also that we are in a season of waiting. Sometimes I think we like waiting because it means we do nothing. Francis Chan in his book ‘Crazy Love’ says …
“Most of us use ‘I’m waiting for God to reveal His calling on my life’ as a means of avoiding action.”
Francis Chan goes on is his book to throw out a challenge to us in this season of waiting …
“Did you hear God calling you to sit in front of the television yesterday? Or to go on your last vacation? Or exercise this morning? Probably not, but you still did it. The point isn’t that vacations or exercise are wrong, but that we are quick to rationalize our entertainment and priorities yet are slow to commit to serving God.”
