We live in a world in which nobody likes to wait for anything. We can't stand slow service at restaurants or waiting in a long line. However, if we look at the Bible, we find that characters such as David, Noah and Paul's greatest moments came from the culmination of their patience and faith in the Lord. To demonstrate this point, Scripture speaks often of patience: "Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength" (Isaiah 40:31).

In 'Sacred Waiting,' David Timms communicates his opinion that waiting is much deeper than simply waiting for the clock to tick: it is a spiritually rewarding behaviour that brings us closer to God. By discussing the treasures that God provides, Timms encourages readers to discover the lost discipline of waiting.

Just like Moses, David, Paul and many other Bible characters, you will have your greatest moments from this special practice: 'sacred' waiting.

David Timms teaches New Testament and Theology at Hope International University in Fullerton, California.
