Today's daily devotion
As Long As It Takes
“Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”—Acts 1:4-5 (NIV)
The Book of Acts begins with Jesus telling His disciples to wait. Sometimes when we are waiting for a gift from the Holy Spirit the waiting is the most important active part. Waiting is sometimes more difficult than doing anything—it takes faith and patience. When you’re in a period of waiting, turn to the Bible and be assured your faith will be rewarded.
Heavenly Father, I will wait on You for as long as it takes.
