About this episode
We want our coffee instantly, our information immediately, and our sanctification yesterday. We check our phones at red lights, we get agitated in grocery lines, and we treat God's sovereign timing as a personal inconvenience. We want the kingdom now, but we don't want to wait for the King's appointed hour. But the story of our faith is a story of waiting. The saints under the altar wait for their vindication. He waits in a floating menagerie, surrounded by the stench of animals and the silence of a dead world. He has endured the cataclysm, he has weathered the storm, and now he is perched on a mountain in a washed world, and he waits. He does not form a committee to explore his options. But more than that, this is a story about the nature of true obedience.
