"I'll Wait...For The Salvation Of The Lord"

How good are you at waiting? When it comesto the good things in life, we can’t wait to get to it – like the day of ourretirement or the birth of a child or grandchild and we’re like a kid on the 4thof July waiting for the fireworks. But then there are the things in life thatwe do not look forward to – like our gospel lesson, where there is a sicknessin the family. We’re like Jairus and pleading with Jesus, “Please, don’t let mylittle daughter die.”

We all face difficulty, trouble and sorrow inlife. What are we to do about it? At times we find ourselves complaining –about the taxes we have to pay, the economy, our health, in a relationship orin a marriage. Whatever the case is, may we all say with the prophet Jeremiahin Lamentations 3 – “I’ll Wait…ForThe Salvation of the Lord.”
