Waiting on the Lord is an often misunderstood concept that Patrick explores with us on Sunday through Hebrews 6:13-20. Waiting is much more than twiddling our thumbs while the seconds, minutes, hours, and days pass by. It involves our relationship, our confidence, and our hope in God as well as our strained relationship with the world. The best part is that Jesus, our forerunner has blazed the trail for us to give us the right heart in waiting. Don’t miss this important message as we explore waiting – more than just sitting around!
For when God made a promise to Abraham, since he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself, saying, “Surely I will bless you and multiply you.” And thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise. For people swear by something greater than themselves, and in all their disputes an oath is final for confirmation. So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.” (Hebrews 6:13-20 ESV)
