Who's Waiting on You?
We spend so much time concerned with our individual seasons of waiting and longing that we fail to consider those who may be waiting on us. Professionally, as a business analyst, nothing is more frustrating than being unable to meet deadlines because the completion of my own work depends on someone else successfully completing theirs. So what side are you on? Have you completed all of your assigned tasks or are you loafting on your work to the expense of another?
Someone out there may be in wait for your message, your testimony, your sermon, your song, your website, your blogpost, your text, your call...and the list goes on. What are you waiting for?
So often we hide behind the excuse that someone else can do it--that someone else will do it. Why can't that person be you?! Do you know that Jesus wants to come back? He wants to fulfill the prophecies written about him long ago. He wants to come back! But he's waiting. He's waiting on one more person to be saved. He's waiting for one more person to surrender: someone who will worship God in spirit and in truth. Is that person you? Are we all here waiting on...you?
Is Jesus waiting on you? Is your mother waiting on you? Is your high school best friend waiting on you? Is your primary school teacher waiting on you? Is your daughter waiting on you? Is your husband waiting on you? Is your father waiting on you?
It's time to stop waiting for them to do it when we are well able to do it too. Don't hold up the process any longer. Take a moment to truly reflect on who's waiting on you.
"I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one."
Ezekiel 22:30 (NIV)
