Day Fifteen: Psalm 130:5-6
Read
I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,
and in his word I hope;
my soul waits for the Lord
more than watchmen for the morning,
more than watchmen for the morning.

Week 3 of Advent is upon us as we work our way through this season of waiting. We all hate waiting, don’t we? If for some reason Prime delivery can’t get that thing to us in 24 hours, we’re frustrated. And yet as humans, we can’t escape it. As kids, we wait for the school bell to ring or for Christmas morning; as we grow older we wait to hear back about a promotion or diagnosis. Eventually, each of us waits for the deterioration of our bodies and death itself. We can’t escape waiting, no matter how hard we try. Take a moment to consider this question: what are you waiting for this season of Advent? Maybe another way of wording it: what are you longing for? What are you wishing for?
