Waiting Endure for a Season...

Sometimes the best things in life 

take a long time to materialize.

Isaiah 41:10

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. Is 41:10

Yesterday.  Just one more of those days that feel like weight hanging around your neck.

When a friend of mine texted me this verse, I held back tears.  How much I needed to remember!

I think the part I noticed most strongly was "for I am thy God". 

~ Fear thou not.~

Transported I Rise

From the time I was little, my favorite line in this hymn was

"When clothed in his brightness, transported I rise,

To meet him in clouds of the sky,"

Until then, may we rejoice that we are hidden in the cleft of the rock.

For this God is our God for ever and ever:

he will be our guide even unto death.

Psalms 48:14

Forever, O Lord

Our sense of time seems so solidified and somewhat daunting, as if tomorrow were a persistent creature always about to pounce yet never appearing. So often we see 10 years as a long inconceivable time frame, casting a huge shadow, because 10 leads to 20, 20 to 50, 50 to 100.

And then time ends.....or so we think, and act, always rushing.

I love how God doesn't view time how we do.

God sees a day and the length of that unit is irrelevant, it might have been a 1,000 years.

God sees a 1,000 years, and it might have been only a day.

I wonder what God sees when He looks at a week, or an hour, or even a minuet. Yet, however small, He sees ever last second.

Because of this God can promise forever.

"I know that, whatsoever God doeth,

it shall be for ever:

nothing can be put to it,

nor any thing taken from it:"Ecc 3:14
