I watch my lab.................he is always WAITING................waiting for my husband to come home.
A real surrender is what I see.................when I cup his face in my hands it is then that I wonder......how? how can he simply wait all day long if necessary for us his humans to return?
It is us that God himself is asking our souls..............to practice..............WAITING.....on Him!
Psalm 25:4-5
English Standard Version (ESV)
4 Make me to know your ways, O LORD;
teach me your paths.
5 Lead me in your truth and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all the day long.
teach me your paths.
5 Lead me in your truth and teach me,
for you are the God of my salvation;
for you I wait all the day long.
And so we wait...................................we wait for His guidance!
How hard it is to just WAIT on the Lord!
God is so interested in us that He longs......desires......(Eros); for us to be in His will...............and His love.
We are powerless to do the waiting on our own.......but we are no longer alone.............the Holy one has taken up residency in us..........Immanuel....."God with us."
It is me who prays mudane prayers all about me;.................but wait quietly before the Lord, pipe dreams I scream..........................and in His word He says to me:
Psalm 46:10
“Be still, and know that I am God;
It is all about surrender.......surrendering to the Divine and the keeping our eyes on Him!
Do we believe that He wants to be gracious?.........that He wants us to EROS.....HIM! Then waiting on Him would be considered pure JOY!
"My soul, WAIT thou only upon God!"
all of grace,
Robbie
