The Waiting, Proverbs 3

"Let love and faithfulness never leave you; . . ."

Proverbs 3:3

"Waiting for Pigs to Fly?"

We often equate faithfulness with marriage. We may often wait on our spouse to "get it", to "understand us", and we may get frustrated when we think they aren't being faithful to the marriage (in a variety of forms). Each spouse can be guilty of this. Unfortunately, the waiting becomes a wall and the marriage can suffer for it. A healthy marriage consistently works on breaking down those walls - it is a give and take. "I give, she takes!" Just kidding.

To be faithful applies to so many areas of our life. It requires patience, discernment, dedication, forgiveness, and renewal.

In business, one finds many with self-interests, the reason many consult lawyers and sign contracts; yet, misunderstandings do ocurr. A partnership in business requires trust and verification no matter how many documents are signed. Finally, faithful employees may not be rewarded for their lifelong commitment. Sadly, many in life have become negative, we become sarcatistic and our demeanor less hopeful. We lack understanding.

As Christians we may be waiting on the Lord for a much needed answer and waiting is difficult. However, we are called to be faithful. I don't like waiting either, but often we find that the waiting is part of the discovery.

Proverbs 3:13 - "Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold."

Where does one find wisdom and understanding? What are some of the ways you feed your mind and your soul? Is what you are learning adding value to your life and the lives of others or is it taking away value? How do you determine value? Is that valuation model correct?
