Waiting

Though familiar to many people, the Parable of the Sower is actually a very complex story about finding both grace and hope while we wait on the harvest of God’s promises.

One of the truest challenges of faith is trying to comprehend the timeless God from within our time-bound existence. What can help us glimpse the eternity he promises?

The origin story of Jacob and Esau tell us of two temptations that can threaten the life of faith: taking our future into our own hands, or abandoning the responsibility to wait on God’s timing. The better way is a third way: the way of the cross, and the one who showed strength in his weakness, absolute faith in the face of unimaginable fear.

What do we do when we don’t know what to do with our pain, spiritual distress, or uncertainty in life? This ancient song invites us into a journey of emotional authenticity that leads us to a place of hope.
