Psalm 130:5-6 - "I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope. I wait for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning."
In the kitchen of life, patience is the meticulous craft that transforms waiting into hope. Just as a skilled craftsman hones their technique, we are called to hone our patient waiting.
