Waiting Isn’t Wasted Time. Here’s Why | Anchor Points

What are you waiting for right now?

And how are you at waiting?

Life can feel like one long waiting room.

We wait in traffic, in lines, for answers, for opportunities, for the next season to begin. And most of the time, we are trying to escape the waiting. Faster everything. Shorter lines. Less delay.

But no matter how efficient life becomes, waiting never goes away.

Because at its core, life is not just about passing time. It is about trusting God in the middle of it.

Psalm 130 gives us a different picture of waiting. Not anxious waiting. Not frustrated waiting. But expectant waiting.

Like watchmen on the wall waiting for morning.

They were not guessing if the sun would rise. They knew it was coming. They simply stood, watched, and waited with confidence.

That is the kind of waiting Scripture invites us into.

Scripture (NIV):

Psalm 130:5–6 – “I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope. I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning.”
