Waiting...in worship

Tuesday's Tune:

It seems like when we're in the middle of the wait, we tend to become terribly self-absorbed.  We lose our joy.  We fail to connect with our Savior...to worship Him in the middle of our personal turmoil.  Funny thing is, He's the only source of genuine hope that we have in the waiting. 

In Acts 16, after Paul & Silas were beaten and thrown into prison without a trial, they weren't sitting there complaining.  They weren't sulking and drowning in self-pity.  They weren't angry for the unfair treatment they'd been given.  Nope.  They were sitting in their stocks, praying and singing hymns to God.  They were worshiping while they were waiting.

So stop focusing on yourself, and start focusing on our great God.  Worship Him.  Dive into His Word.  Sing praises to Him.  Pray.  You'll find encouragement, hope, peace, confidence, strength, renewed faith, and freedom in the process!

I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience
While I'm waiting, I will serve You
While I'm waiting, I will worship
While I'm waiting, I will not faint
I'll be running the race even while I wait

I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it's not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait

I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord
