From Isaiah 64:4:  “From ages past no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who works for those who wait for Him.”

Facing life’s dark, endless afflictions

Waiting with patience and new hope

Turning to our Holy, mighty Lord

Reaching for the Spirit’s steady rope

 

Seeking maturity and insight

Receiving God’s plan, sacred foresight

 

Witnessing our Father’s faithfulness

Flowing as a gentle river, His love

Nourishing hungry souls from His Word

Touching us, Holiness from above

 

Continuing to teach, God reaches out

Instilling our confidence, let’s shout

 

Waiting with patience for our Father

Sending His goodness to those who seek

Filling compassion with steadfast love

Offering Salvation, mercy speaks

 

Trusting God’s divine wisdom each day

Following His Word, showing the way

 

From the words of American pastor and Christian teacher, Charles Stanley:  “Waiting isn’t easy, but rushing ahead of the Lord can short-circuit His plan.  Be patient while God works out the details.”
