In a world that waits for nothing, Sacred Waiting helps readers learn to wait on God. David Timms challenges believers to be attentive to God as were the faithful from Noah to David, from Paul to John--and all the saints in between. He demonstrates that their best moments arose from God's timing, not their own. In the process he reveals deep, transforming truths for those who want to go deeper into their relationship with God. Grounded in the stories of Scripture and everyday illustrations, Sacred Waiting explores a vital yet often neglected or misunderstood spiritual discipline.

In the midst of our mad scramble-what we bravely but vainly call the "good life"-we also find ourselves harboring deep-seated impatience with God. We have little time to nurture a relationship with Him and generally feel that He should run at least as fast as us. If we have a problem right now, then right now would be a good time for the Lord to step in and deal with it. We squeeze in a quick prayer request while changing lanes in rush-hour traffic and expect the Lord to fire back a quick answer, preferably a positive one. All the while we're rushing Him and rushing past Him.
On January 12, 2007, world-renowned violinist Joshua Bell participated in an experiment organized by the Washington Post. Three days earlier Bell had played at Boston's stately Symphony Hall, where concert patrons had paid at least $100 per ticket to hear the virtuoso. For the experiment, he agreed to be a busker at a Washington D.C. Metro train station where people could lean against a wall and listen to him for free.
Wearing a long-sleeved T-shirt and a Washington Nationals baseball cap, Bell treated the commuter crowd to some of the greatest violin music ever composed. For forty-three minutes at L'Enfant Plaza, as Washington low-level bureaucrats got off their trains on the way to work, he delivered masterpieces by Bach, Schubert, and others. Not only did he play some of the most moving violin pieces ever written, but he did so on his $3.5 million violin-a 300-year-old Stradivarius.
Three minutes went by before something happened. Sixty-three people had already passed when, finally, there was a
