Learning to Wait

Luke 24:44-53

Finding peace while waiting is a profound spiritual lesson from Jesus's Ascension. After his resurrection, Jesus instructed his disciples to wait in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit rather than rushing into action. This biblical account teaches us that waiting serves important purposes in our spiritual growth. Christians can wait effectively by practicing yearning through prayer and fasting, building God's vision for their lives, and enjoying present blessings even while anticipating future promises. Waiting with purpose transforms what could feel like wasted time into a period of preparation and spiritual deepening.
