Waiting for God is not like waiting for the train. It is no more passive than Usain Bolt waiting to begin a race. It is a race he has prepared for mentally, physically and emotionally. In the silence of the breathe before the starter’s gun there is a waiting power. All the passion to run the steps that lead to the finish line fill his heart as he waits knowing that victory lies ahead. How much more should we as children who run toward heaven’s finish line wait with joy to run our race.

Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.
Psalms 19:5 NKJV
