Long Time Gone

Therefore the LORD will wait, that He may be gracious to you;
​​And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you.
​​For the LORD is a God of justice;
​​Blessed are all those who wait for Him. Isaiah 30:18

I had this dream... nah, unless it is of the Lord dreams are a form of guess-you-had-to-be-there torture for most people, so we won't go there today. Long weekend and a Bible study day and suddenly I haven't written to you since last Friday, almost a week ago. During that time we had our turn at the big storms rolling across the land. Lots of hail here and some wind too, but not nearly so bad as some have experienced. Streets became creeks for a time and the ground is well soaked. The sun will shine again though, we have only to wait.

It says here in our verse for today that the Lord will wait. If one of us were almighty for a day, would be wait? We are promised that the Lord will wait that He may be gracious. Now grace is definitely something to hope for and receive with gladness! If the Lord needs to wait for a time and then comes down on us with the graciousness, then... Go Lord! Mercy too is promised and an exaltation of the Lord. This verse is just overflowing with the goodness of the Lord! And how do we go about getting there? We wait on the Lord.

"Blessed are all those who wait for Him."
