Waiting doesn't come naturally to humans. It's inconvenient, it's annoying, but most of all it's painful. We are all familiar with waiting and so was the community behind Psalm 85. They waited to bounce back from a less than ideal situation – we may find ourselves in a similar place. Yet, in it all, they hear from the One who promises peace or 'shalom'. God in his compassion offers us shalom. Its completeness and wholeness to our fractured situations, relationships, and souls. And in him is where we find our enoughness. So in the wait, we can know and experience the living God who brings shalom.
