I ordered a gift at the end of November that hasn’t arrived yet. I’m sure I’m not alone in this. The delivery services are maxed out. Every small business owner I know has expressed frustration at the delays. There’s a meme going around that jokes, “Stop trying to track that package. It’s in God’s hands now.”
The thing is, I’m not worried about it. I know the gift is coming. I know because the vendor is reliable and the gift has been bought and paid for. And I’m actually grateful for the delay because it’s reminded me about hope. Hope says, I know the gift is coming, even though I’m not sure when it will arrive. Hope says, I can trust that the Giver will send what He promised. Hope says, the gift is worth waiting for.
May you be reminded of the Gift you’ve already been given, and may it fill you with hope.
“Without wavering, let us hold tightly to the hope we say we have, for God can be trusted to keep his promise.” Hebrews 10:23
