“Therefore the Lord will wait, that He may be gracious to you … Blessed are all those who wait for Him.” (Isaiah 30:18, NKJV)
“We should not only understand the importance of our waiting on God but also realize something even more wonderful – the Lord waits on us … This provides inexpressible confidence that our waiting will never be in vain …
Rest assured that if God waits longer than we desire, it is simply to make the blessings doubly precious. Remember, He waited four thousand years, “but when the time had fully come, God sent his Son (Galatians 4:4). Our time is in His hands, and He will quickly avenge those He has chosen, swiftly coming to our support without ever delaying even one hour too long. Andrew Murray

Today I am joining … Scripture & a Snapshot and Sunday Scripture Blessings .
I am not a skilled or a patient waiter — And God seems to send me to school on that subject on a regular basis!
I love how you worded this – “skilled waiter”. Yes, may we wait well!
How patient He is. I’m so thankful.
We can be so thankful for God’s patience. What a fascinating thought – that he waits for us. Wow!
Streams provided us with such a stirring and powerful image.
