The Journey of Waiting:
- We are all waiting for something.
- Waiting is a window of time.
- While waiting, my responsibility is to actively trust in God.
While I'm waiting God is working…
- God is working in me. (Luke 1:26–38)
In the waiting, what is God trying to form in me?
ACTION PLAN: In your quiet times this week, bring this question to God: In the waiting, what is God trying to form in me? Talk with God about it and take time to listen to whatever he might want to impress upon you.
- God is working around me. (Luke 1:11–20)
ACTION PLAN: Who in your neighborhood could you invite to a Christmas service? Begin praying this week for God to show you who and to give you boldness to invite them.
In the waiting, what does God want me to pray for?
- God is working through me. (Luke 1:39–45)
In waiting, where is God wanting me to increase my faithfulness?
