Waiting can be endured. Waiting can be avoided. Waiting can be abhorred.
Waiting can also be chosen. Because Waiting Isn’t a Waste, according to a new book by pastor Mark Vroegop of College Park Church in Indianapolis. Mark offers surprising comfort from trusting God in the uncertainties of life. He defines waiting this way: “Waiting on God is living on what I know to be true about God when I don’t know what’s true about my life.”
Waiting is unavoidable. But Mark wants us to see that waiting isn’t incidental. It’s essential to discipleship. He writes,
The more I’ve studied waiting in the Bible, the more I’m stunned. It’s all over the scriptures. It’s a key part of most spiritual leaders’ story. It’s a central part of what it means to be a follower of Jesus.
