There are days when we would just like to ask God to wait for us to finish something else off. So, reading in the book of Judges chapter 6 (NIV) today I came across just that type of situation. Below is the passage quoted – make what you will of it!
17 Gideon replied, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, give me a sign that it is really you talking to me. 18 Please do not go away until I come back and bring my offering and set it before you.”
And the LORD said, “I will wait until you return.”
Now, you’ll need to read the rest of the chapter to get the full context – but it does remind you that God could leave us whenever He was wants – but He chooses to remain with us!
