Waiting is one of humanity's greatest challenges, yet it's fundamental to God's kingdom. Throughout Scripture, God commands us to wait 116 times, revealing its importance in our spiritual journey. The key to faithful waiting lies in remembering three truths: God has never failed to keep His promises, waiting is a spiritual battle against doubt and fear, and we must focus on who God is rather than what we want Him to do. As Christians, we're not waiting for Jesus' first coming but His second advent as righteous Judge. Faithful waiting means trusting the promise-giver, remembering His past faithfulness, and staying spiritually prepared for Christ's return.
