Sometimes in life, God puts me in a place where I have to wait. Wait for someone, a milestone, a season, or whatever.

Paul also had to wait in Athens.

"But when the Jews in Thessalonica heard that Paul had preached the word of God in Berea also, they came there and started exciting and stirring up the mob. At once the believers sent Paul away to the coast; but both Silas and Timothy stayed in Berea. The men who were taking Paul went with him as far as Athens and then returned to Berea with instructions from Paul that Silas and Timothy should join him as soon as possible.

While Paul was waiting in Athens for Silas and Timothy, he was greatly upset when he noticed how full of idols the city was. So he held discussions in the synagogue with the Jews and with the Gentiles who worshipped God, and also in the public square every day with the people who happened to pass by. ...

When they heard Paul speak about a raising from death, some of them made fun of him, but others said, “We want to hear you speak about this again.” And so Paul left the meeting. Some men joined him and believed, among whom was Dionysius, a member of the council; there was also a woman named Damaris, and some other people."

(Acts 17.13-17,32-34 GNB)

Dear God,
please help me be patient when you ask me to wait
and give me wisdom to know what to do while waiting
