It is often the gap periods of waiting in our lives that are the most difficult - anxiety and anger can set in, and we may find ourselves going down a negative and destructive path. This very issue is something that Mark Vroegop, the lead pastor of College Park Church, set out to tackle in his book, Waiting Isn’t a Waste: The Surprising Comfort of Trusting God in the Uncertainties of Life. Mark talks about waiting on God in those gap moments, and trusting His provision. Waiting is beautiful, promised, and a biblical command, he says. He also describes it as a hopeful position that we can live in. Waiting doesn’t have to be painful - it can be a major growing season for our faith in Jesus.

TAKEAWAYS

Every person has to discern about when it’s time to wait and when it’s time to move

Waiting confronts our desire for control

Waiting is part of what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ

Gaps are meant to remind us that we are NOT God and that we CAN trust Him

In Genesis, we read about how God saw the evil in this world and destroyed the earth with a single flood. He only left eight obedient people and a bunch of animals to rebuild. The New Testament promises us that one day, God will destroy the heavens and the earth -- and Jesus is our only way of escape.
