The Waiting Room

One of the big themes of scripture is providence. Providence is God’s orchestration of history. It’s the idea that He’s directing all events and everyone’s life to a specific end. There’s a pastor I once heard say that “God interacts in history with two hands. The first hand is visible and we see it through miracles: Sarah gives birth in her 90s; Jacob wrestles with an angel; Moses calls down plagues upon Egypt; Jesus and His apostles heal and cast out demons. The other hand is invisible. God sets things into motion behind the scenes.” Many times, in the waiting, God is working behind the scenes… He’s setting things up for the dream to succeed. – Pastor Ryan Martinez
