We don’t like to wait for a lengthy amount of time. Long lines, and long rides, can cause the best of us to become impatient. Just spend time with a toddler and you will quickly agree.
- “Why can’t these people move?”
- “How long do we need to stand here?”
- “Are we there yet?”
We have become a people accustomed to the instant. We want what we want and immediately.
But life does not unfold immediately. It unravels in minutes, days, weeks, months, and yes, even years.
As we read our Bibles, we overlook the fact that while we get to the end of a story or chapter quickly, it was not so in the life of the biblical characters.
Won’t you join me at Woman to Woman Ministries HERE as we look at the way in which time unfolds in our lives.

It’s so true! We reduce biblical characters and their angsty existence down to cardboard characters, and we forget that they suffered long and waited without knowledge of a certain end.
As we also do.
They are our companions in the limits and the frustrations of mortality.
