How long does it take before you really get what the Lord is trying to speak to you? I think I must be pretty dumb or hard-headed or something because it has taken me until now to figure out, and it's been since the beginning of June. Just this morning, I finally did get it... the Lord was speaking AGAIN the three most important words in my life right now. "Wait. Patiently Wait."

Yes, I have been getting that message for a while now. That whole waiting thing... but this morning, I finally got it. I get it now. I understand to what situation it applies and the importance it has in my life right now. What a freeing, wonderful moment... to know what the Lord is speaking personally to me! And, it leaves me with such assurance-filling me with peace even though I don't see anything happening right now and even though I have been called to wait on the Lord.

I realized this morning as I was reading Isaiah 30:18-AGAIN-where it says The Lord will wait that He may be gracious to me and that He may be exalted. I was writing in my notebook, realizing that without waiting there needs be no prayer; without waiting, there is no faith required. And without waiting, there is hardly an opportunity for the Lord to be wholly exalted and glorified. And so, even though this waiting may be hard, and may be hurting at times, I will wait..yes I will wait, that the Lord may be exalted.

I think of a song I have grown to love playing lately.

I Will Wait

I will wait, I will wait for You
I will wait, I will wait for You
When my heart is troubled
And when my bones are aching
I will wait, I will wait for You

It's all that I can do
It's all that I can do
It's all that I can do
To wait on you, to wait for you

I will hope, I will hope in You
I will hope, I will hope in You
When my heart is breaking
Faithful and true are You
I will hope, I will hope in You
