Waiting Long?

11/01/2021 / Devotionals

Picture yourself in this scenario…

You arrived early for a scheduled medical appointment and time passes slowly. The waiting room fills to standing room only and hours pass.

Noticing a young man enter, you watch him as he looks around the crowded room. He looks at his watch and then walks up to you. Speaking just above a whisper, he asks you a simple question. 

‘Have you been waiting long?’

Your troubled expression reveals the answer.

Waiting isn’t easy.

Waiting long is hard.

“After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Now in Jerusalem, by the Sheep Gate, there is a pool which in Hebrew is called Bethesda, having five porticoes. In these porticoes lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, limping, or paralyzed.Now a man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. Jesus, upon seeing this man lying there and knowing that he had already been in that condition for a long time, said to him, ‘Do you want to get well?’ The sick man answered Him, ‘Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am coming, another steps down before me.’  Jesus said to him, ‘Get up, pick up your pallet and walk.’  Immediately the man became well, and picked up his pallet and began to walk (John 5:1-9a NASB).”

Waiting long?

Have faith.
