There's nothing more aggravating than waiting for something. Waiting seems to be a cornerstone of our life here on earth. Very, very things come instantly, and if they do they are usually not what we expected in the long run. Unless they are a gift from God; to which we have prayed for, or God has purposes more in line to touch someone else that we can't see.
There's also a bad time to wait too long, when you need to decide something that could be life-saving, like our life after death. Do you know where you are going after you die? Are you still sitting on the fence waiting for more information? There's a story in Matthew 25 that tells about 10 maidens waiting to meet the Bridegroom, 5 were wise and filled their lamps with oil and 5 were foolish and waited too long to get oil for their lamps. Only the 5 wise prepared ones were allowed in.
Luke 17:24 tells us how Jesus returns; "As the lightning flashes across the sky and lights it up from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day".
There will be lots of Joy and Sorrow on that day and we have the option to choose which one right now!!
