Wait on the Lord

Hebrews 13:5 says: “Wait on the Lord”

The greatest grass is found wherever the most rain falls, so I suppose it is the fog and the mist of Ireland that makes it the “Emerald Isle,”. Wherever you find widespread fog of trouble and the mist of sorrow, you always find emerald green hearts that are full of the beautiful foliage of the comfort and love of God.

Do not say where are all the swallows, they are all gone - they are dead, no, they are not dead they have simply skimmed across the deep blue sea, flying to a far away land and they will be back again soon.  Child of God do not say all the flowers are dead, the winter has killed them, so they are gone, no, although the winter has covered them with a white coat of snow, they will push up their heads again and will be alive very soon.  Oh, believer do not say that the sun has burned out just because a cloud has hidden it, no, it is still there, planning a summer for you, for when it shines again, it will have caused those clouds to have dropped  their April showers, each of them a mother to a sweet may flower. 

Above all, remember, if God hides His face from you, do not say that He has forgotten you, He is simply waiting for a little while, to make you love Him more and once He comes, you will rejoice with inexpressible joy of the Lord, Nehemiah 8:10.  Waiting on Him exercises your gift of grace and tests your faith.

Therefore continue to wait in hope, for although the promise may linger, it will never come too late.
