What’s the wait time? That’s our question for many things in life, but as Kate Dreesen points out, while the wait time with God is unpredictable, He is faithful, and patience pays off! Today, as you wait for the big and small things, focus on Romans 8:25 and Psalm 37:6-7 to help you remember that God is faithful, and patience pays off! And if you know someone struggling to be patient, share what you’ve learned and encourage them as they wait on God.

Many people in the world don't believe that God exists, or that He loves them, or that they can have joy or peace or contentment in this life. And when people call themselves Christians and don't demonstrate love or peace or contentment, they just confirm the fears of the watching world. That's why the apostle Peter urges us as believers to dedicate ourselves to growing in our faith as he continues his letter. To let the world know that God can be there for them too.

It's natural to want to step in and fix the mistakes we see in other people's lives--especially the people closest to us. And while a helping hand is sometimes needed, sometimes what is most needed is a little bit of space. Karmin is here today to encourage us from the Bible and to help us grow in patience, allowing the grace of God to work in the lives of those we love.
