My soul, wait in silence for God only,
 For my hope is from Him.
 He only is my rock and my salvation,
 My stronghold; I shall not be shaken.
 On God my salvation and my glory rest;
 The rock of my strength, my refuge is in God.
 Trust in Him at all times, O people;
 Pour out your heart before Him;
 God is a refuge for us. Selah (pause and calmly think of that)"  Psalm 62:5-8
 (Parentheses is from the verse in The Amplified Bible)
 
"Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him..."  Psalm 37:7
 
These last few weeks have  been a time of waiting on the Lord for many of the 
brethren in Christ who are in hard places.  But, in the waiting, the loving 
kindness and tender mercies of the Lord have been seen over and over again.
 
God's timing is perfect.  When we adjust our sights on Him, not on the clock 
of the present circumstances, there is trust and strengthened faith not 
anxiousness at the seeming delay to prayer.  Our faith is resting in the love, 
the presence and the provisions of Christ Jesus, the Lord.
 
So then, we, as Proverbs 3:5-6 says,
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
 And lean not on your own understanding.
 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
 And He shall direct your paths."
 
We can rejoice in the assurance of Isaiah 30:18,
"Therefore the Lord longs to be gracious to you,
 And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you.
 For the Lord is a God of justice;
 How blessed are all those who long for Him."
 
Let us join our hearts as one and sing praises to the Lord as we wait with 
joyful expectation for all that He has planned and purposed for each one of us.  
 
Thank You gracious loving Lord.  Amen
