Exploring 6 Characteristics of Waiting to Prompt Wisdom from God and Gain Invaluable Peace

Throughout our lives, we experience countless periods of waiting. Some moments are mere nuisances—others are daunting seasons filled with intense worry and doubt. We grow impatient by immovable traffic or crave an impending answer to a medical condition. Whatever our current circumstances, our innate response is to take action rather than stay still.

In Waiting Isn't a Waste, author Mark Vroegop calls believers to resist the human urge for control and lean on Christ for comfort while we wait for the uncertainties of life to unfold. Vroegop explores what it means to wait on God through 6 important characteristics—waiting is hard, common, biblical, slow, commanded, and relational. This book not only teaches listeners how to wait on God but inspires them to embrace waiting—for it prompts wisdom from God and brings invaluable peace to the present.

I needed this so badly!

This is re-shaping the way I see and handle the tough ‘gaps’ in life - this will be at least an annual re-listen for me!

The gap of waiting

Waiting is a gift from God, let us get closer to God. Transferred our spiritual life.

Amazing

This book has allowed me to see the different ways I can wait. I struggle with waiting for things a lot and don’t have much patience this book has allowed me to see God and how I can rely on him in waiting than on my own

Needed study on an often-ignored subject

Wonderful! No wasted words on an important topic. This book is improving my Christian walk.

Just what I needed!

What a beautiful blessing this audiobook was for me, and it came at the right moment. Praise the Lord for this and thanks to Mark for writing about it. It really opened my eyes to the depth there is in waiting. I’ve never felt more related to something. Lets keep waiting together, until our Lord comes, amen. 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼❤️
