Maximizing Singlehood Many singles feel like their lives are in a holding pattern. I’ve flown enough to know what it’s like for the pilot to come on the intercom and announce that the plane has been denied permission to land for whatever reason. Holding patterns are very frustrating because you are helpless. You didn’t choose the situation, and there is nothing you can do about it. All you know is that you want the pilot to get the plane on the ground so you can get off of it. I remember one particular time when this happened to me, and it seemed like we had been circling for hours. I kept looking at my watch and then looking out the window to see if there was any indication that we were moving closer to the earth. After enough times of going back and forth between my wrist and the window, I decided that I would take some work out that I had brought with me and spend my time focusing on it instead. Before long, I got so involved with what I was doing that I forgot we were still in a holding pattern altogether. Singles, God has so much for you to do while you are waiting for a mate – that He can satisfy you so fully with what you are doing that you literally forget what you feel like you are missing out on. I couldn’t control how long the pilot kept us in the holding pattern in the sky. But I could control what I did with the time that I was up there. Likewise, I do not know how long it will be before God addresses your singlehood. What I do know is that He does not expect you to be wasting your time while waiting. He wants you to wait on Him, sure, but to do so in the context of maximizing living single. For His Kingdom, Tony Evans Tony Speaks on Singlehood
