One of the biggest acts in Christian music, For King + Country, is out with another sure-to-be hit song, “What are We Waiting For?”
Time is the most precious commodity that any of us possess. It’s constantly fleeting. Every hour, minute and second that passes means we have less of it. Unlike money or other material possessions, we can never get it back. Once it’s gone, it’s lost forever, never to be recovered or returned.
The Grammy-winning brother duo, For King + Country, points out just how valuable and significant time is in their newest song, “What are We Waiting For?” It’s an item that must not be spent foolishly, but rather wisely and in a way that benefits everyone.
The song’s opening verse mentions how it’s impossible to accomplish anything of value without first putting in the time and effort. The lyrics then push listeners to quit procrastinating and get to work immediately.
The song’s chorus then asks several very important questions.
“What are we praying for?
What are we saving for?
What if we could be the light that no one could ignore?
What are we waiting for?”
Yes, prayer and communicating with God are vital and necessary for any follower. But what if our actions are the answer to prayer? What if, instead of constantly asking God to change someone’s heart and life, we’re the person that has been sent to show them the love of Christ?
As Christians, we are called to minister to the world's lost and hurting. Time is limited and is something that will never be regained. Knowing how little time we have on this earth, what are we waiting for to help someone else, to show kindness, to be a Christ-like example to someone?
James 4:14 “When you are not certain what will take place tomorrow. What is your life? It is a mist, which is seen for a little time and then is gone.”
