STILL WAITING....
The
disciples were not told how long the waiting period would be. We get to see in retrospect that it was
10 days – but they don’t know that.
It is a good reminder that often we have ‘promises’ we have held onto
that have not come to pass. We,
too, are waiting – and we don’t know the timeline.
That
applies to the final moments of history as well…. Sometimes I feel like I am waiting for the other shoe to
drop. Prophecy and the current
news mesh so closely…. I
want to be with the Lord – but I am not looking forward to the process that
will bring that to fruition. It
makes me more poignantly aware that Jesus didn’t look forward to the process
with joy either. He was fully God
and fully human. I am just fully
human. It’s okay. He knows that I am dust.
We
wait expectantly – and with a modicum of uncertainty – just as they did in +-33
