As every family knows, any road trip of a duration over 30 minutes will eventually include someone asking, “Are we there yet?” The closer we get to the final destination, anticipation grows and so can impatience, but the journey is worth it when we reach our final destination.
Transitions in life are the same. The journey that began with an ending and traveled through the space in-between, ends with a new beginning, and as we approach it our anticipation grows as can our impatience.
This Sunday we learn from the story of Naomi and Ruth how God is working through the entire process of transitions to accomplish in us more than we might imagine when we wait on Him.
