The ten days between the Ascension of Christ and the coming of the Holy Spirit (on Pentecost) must have seemed interminable to the Disciples.
Jesus had ascended to the Father, promising a Comforter would come....but when?
What was the nature of this promised helper?
How they must have wondered as they waited.
We know that they met, prayed, shared fellowship ....and trusted that when Jesus said something was going to come, that it would.
Are you in a period of waiting and wondering? Stuck on pause until God reveals the next step?
Then do as the Apostles and other believers did; pray. Study Scripture. Meet with other believers to worship the Lord, and fellowship with afterwards.
And trust.
What God has promised will always come to pass.
He will be with you.
He will never forsake you.
He will grant you wisdom if you pray earnestly for it.
He will shepherd and guide you.
And as He gave the believers of long ago the gift of the Holy Spirit, so His Spirit is with us yet.
