Seasons of Waiting: Walking by Faith When Dreams Are Delayed by Betsy Childs HowardMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Waiting is hard. But waiting on a life long desire can be really hard. In Seasons of Waiting, Betsy Childs Howard does a wonderful job showing the Biblical approach to waiting. She talks about why it is important to wait and clearly show us what we should be doing while we wait. There are various chapters covering specific things one could be waiting on, such as a baby, spouse, or healing. “God wants me to learn how to wait so that I can wait well, even if my waiting continues for the rest of my life”
I enjoyed the the Biblical parallel the author drew out with the Israelites and their need for daily manna. He gave them what they needed each day. “God’s desire is to be in fellowship with us, and one way he draws us into that fellowship is by meeting our needs one day at a time.”
This is a great book for any women who just needs some encouragement to experience Jesus in the waiting. Because, “even if your season of waiting ends, your life of waiting will continue, if you are waiting for that eternal home.”
I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Other Quotes:
*On the other side of our waiting, there's no doubt that we will count knowing God as more valuable than any of His blessings we had to wait for.
*Although you may be in a place where you feel forgotten by God, ask yourself, are you really the first person He has ever lost track of?
