John 16:22
"So with you: now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy." NIV
"And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you." KJV
Do we have faith that doesn't complain while waiting? That is easier for some to do than others. But the Lord does expect us to wait for His time with a thankful and expecting heart. Regardless of the conditions in which we wait, we can recognize that our time is in His hands. Remember, those nail scarred hands? He is mediating and orchestrating things for our good so we can rejoice and not complain.
Heavenly Father, we are humbled by the complaining we do from day to day because thing don't seem to be going well for us. Give us hearts of thankfulness and rejoicing as we wait on You to fulfill Your plan for us and for eternity. We ask in Jesus' name, Amen.
