and He will give you your heart's
desires
commit everything you do to the Lord
trust Him and He will help you
He will make your innocence radiate
like the dawn
and the justice of your cause will
shine like the noonday sun
be still in the presence of the Lord
and wait patiently for Him to act"
Psalm 37:3-7
and there you are...
still delighting
still committing
still trusting
still waiting.
how do you know?
how do you know
when the wait is
over?
especially when that for which
you wait is in essence
unknown.
oh at times you know.
in fact you know that you know.
for sometimes He reveals His plan
in ways so clear as to almost be
written on the wall before you
however, more often than not,
His plan appears in ways
subtle
subdued
so as almost to be
overlooked.
and often we
miss out on that
which He places
in front of us
for did not even many of
God's chosen people miss
the fact that their
long awaited Messiah
was walking among them?
for sometimes that which He has
prepared for us
comes wrapped in packages unexpected.
the color
the ribbon
the shape
the size
simply not what we thought
not what we assumed
would be delivered.
and so we miss out
on an opportunity breathtaking
because we did not see it.
so perhaps the lesson to be learned
(at least for this heart)
is that waiting patiently
does not mean simply
sitting and resting
for could it be that in the
waiting
gifts abundant
are waiting to be counted?
and if we are counting gifts
are we not living in anticipation?
and is not delighting in
the Lord not the essence of
life itself?
for even in the waiting
we can radiate
we can shine
like the noonday sun!
and in His timing and in His way
His plan
His purpose
will wrap
our passions
our visions
our calls
in His heart of love
resulting in
His will so perfect
coming to life
in hearts waiting patiently.
