And wait, wait for peaceI love this line. I love it because it seems to me like it is a contradiction. Usually, we spend our lives, or at least I spend my life, waiting for something to happen. I was at the Blues game the other night, and I could feel the momentum shift in the Blues' favor. They were working hard, battling for every puck, getting some good chances. I was on the edge of my seat, the anticipation rising within me. Something was going to happen. I could feel it.
And then, it did. A Blue picked up a rebound, waited just a moment for a clear shot, and then buried it in the open net. The crowd went crazy. I jumped out of my seat and celebrated the event unfolding before me. I turned and high-fived my friends beside and behind me. Everyone screamed.
In this line, though, it feels like God is calling me to wait for the exact opposite. No explosion. No celebration. No screaming and yelling and high-fiving. Just wait. And when the waiting is over, rest. Be at peace. It sure doesn't seem nearly as exciting, but perhaps it is just what I need- some peace in my life.
