We live in a microwave society and the word wait is now becoming obsolete in our language. But for a Christian, in our relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, wait has to become part of our language because God’s answers to our prayers are: yes, no, or wait. Many of us can handle a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer but we often times have a problem with the ‘wait’ answer. Why? As Ms. DeMonica Gladney tells us in Willing to Wait, “It’s not the waiting that bothers us, but the uncertainty about the length of the wait.” Many times, the choice is up to us as to how long the waiting period lasts. The length of the waiting is in many cases up to us because it depends on how well we cooperate with God. We can make it a pleasant wait or an unpleasant wait. If we accept that wait is a major part of receiving God’s promises and see it as a time of pruning and maturing in the faith, we will enjoy our waiting experience.

In Willing to Wait Ms. Gladney divides the waiting process into five parts: Part I deals with how and why God reveals the promise to us; Part II addresses how God uses waiting to prepare us for the promise; Part III identifies what we should do while we’re waiting on the promise; Part IV talks about how to recognize God’s divine timing for releasing the promise; Part V candidly deals with how to effectively wait on God for a “promised” mate and the detrimental consequences of not waiting.

So journey with patience and get ready to receive everything God has in store for you. Are you willing to wait?
