Not Yet

Our faith is often tested by crisis, disappointment, disaster and delay. Nothing is harder for faith than waiting. Sometimes we look upon waiting as resigning ourselves and hoping against hope. However, waiting is a matter of trust.
When things are dark do we still have faith? An old friend who has now gone to glory once said that we should not lose in the dark what we learned in the light. To add to that it is important that we do learn in the light.
My son was involved in an incident that required him to act quickly and decisively. That was when what he had learned kicked in. That is why we learn.
Sometimes I think it is harder for us to walk in faith when we don't see answers than to believe in the impossible. God is God and we must let Him be God.
Why hasn't Jesus returned? I don't know nor does anyone else. Meanwhile we are to watch and wait. He is coming again. He has promised and we can trust His promises.
