Most of us hate to wait. We wait in lines, in waiting rooms, and check-out lines. We wait for friends to come pick us up, our computers to boot up, we wait for an event to begin or patiently wait in traffic...or one of my least favorites - waiting to fall asleep.
On average a person spends an estimated 60 minutes waiting everyday.
Waiting can bring the worst out in people. My children don't do well waiting. If I paid my wife 25 cents every time she exhorted our children to "wait patiently", I'd be a poor man. In fact, if an Anderson family actively involves waiting, Rachel waits in line while I wait in the car with the kids . . . everyone is better off.
THIS WEEK Jesus reminds us how we are to handle His Resources while we wait. As much as we may hate to wait, Jesus exhorts us not to waste our waiting time. What we do with our wealth while we wait is crucial.
