“For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence,
for my hope is from Him.
He only is my rock and my salvation,
my fortress; I shall not be shaken.
On God rests my salvation and my glory;
My mighty rock, my refuge is God.
Trust in Him at all times, O people;
Pour out your heart before Him;
God is a refuge for us.”  Selah    Psalm 62:5-8

Note.  ‘Selah:  Pause and calmly think of that’  is from the verse in the 
Amplified Bible. 

“Be still before the LORD 
and wait patiently for Him;
Fret not yourself over the one
Who prospers in his way,
Over the man who carries out evil.”  Psalm 37:7

This past week has been a time of waiting for the people, especially in California.  The fires have been devastating and the aftermath even more so!  Our trust is in God alone to guide in the ways to deal with the days, months and years ahead!  Our faith is resting in the love, kindness, mercies, presence and provisions of Christ Jesus our Lord.

We trust our God and hang on to Proverbs 3:5-6,
“Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him. 
And He will direct your paths.”  

Let us join our hearts as one and praise the Lord as we wait with expectation for we know that He will lead and guide us through these horrendous happenings.  Thank you most gracious, loving and merciful Lord.  Amen
