Summary

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.

  • Written for Christians in Seasons of Waiting: Those struggling with anxiety, discouragement, or weariness as they wait
  • Explores 6 Characteristics of Waiting: Waiting is hard, common, biblical, slow, commanded, and relational
  • Written by Mark Vroegop: Author of Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy, which was named the ECPA 2020 Christian Book of the Year

So much of our discourse on waiting as Christians is well-meaning, but flimsy. we say things like, 'You're just in a season, God is teaching you through this', or, 'wait on the Lord, His timing is perfect.'
None of these types of statements are inherently wrong, but this book picks up those 'easy to say, hard to live out' lines we throw around and finds a practical place for them to land. Mapping the faithfulness of God out through your Bible by putting dates and the challenges you were facing next to them is possibly one of the most helpful bits of advice I have ever been given on how to handle a season of waiting. I will start today and, God willing, in a few years I will be able to look back through my Bible and see all that God has brought me through. This book is a crucial read if you are waiting and a crucial read if you want to be prepared for the day waiting finds you!
