                 Furthermore, last week I read from the newspaper a touching story of a woman that waited for years before giving birth to a baby. She was disturbed, she faced a lot from her husband’s family, she was mocked, she was confused, and she faced a lot that was her waiting period. But she believed in the most High GOD, who doesn’t forget his own. Oh what a waiting period! After several periods of waiting she gave birth to a baby. GOD doesn’t forget his own; it is always good to wait upon GOD in your waiting period. Those that wait on GOD are strengthened. The Psalmist says wait on the LORD, be of good courage and he will strengthen you. Though it takes grace to be courageous in your waiting period, but you have to gather yourself together and wait on GOD. The bible says those that wait upon the LORD, he will renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles, run and not be weary, walk and not faint. Job faced his own waiting period, it was difficult, but he waited on GOD. He said in Job 42 vs. 2: “I know that you can do anything and that no one can stop you”. GOD can do anything; you need to trust him waiting on him. Though sorrow might last by night,  but joy cometh in the morning. It is well with us……
