surgery.
Waiting at several presurgery appointments the day before. Waiting during
the surgery. Waiting for healing. While we can't help but feel some
anxiety, we wait with confidence...confidence in the skills of doctors and
staff, confidence in the prayer and support of so many family and friends.
Most of all...confidence in God's complete love and care.
We have just finished a season of waiting in the church year. All through
Advent we waited once again for the gift of the savior. And amidst the
uncertainties and troubles of these times, we still waited with confidence
in the sure and certain fulfillment of God's promised son.
Salem is in a time of waiting for our next pastor. Perhaps there is a
little uncertainty. A little anxiety. But we can wait with confidence.
God loved the world so much that he gave his son...isn't he most certainly
preparing a new pastor to walk with Salem in our call to live Christ's
love?
May God bless our waiting. May he grant us confidence in his love and care
that never ends. Let him keep us moving forward in faith and trust.
