Psalm 130:5-6 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.

we grow weary, waiting...i am really impatient...i mean, i am fine to wait for a bit...particularly if it looks like what i am waiting for or hoping for is actually going to happen...it is the waiting when i don't know what is going to happen or when...waiting when i am not sure what is coming down the pike...waiting when i am watching things turning in a way that scares me and makes me wonder if anything is ever going to work out...that's the hard part...

we wait for the sunrise, because we know it is coming...we know it is coming...the night may be dark...and scary...sounds from things unseen may startle us and set our very hair on end...but light will come...the first, faint glimmer of the sun will illuminate the darkness...and so we wait...because we know the sun will rise...

oh to wait on GOD like that...to know the breakthrough is coming...to know something good is coming...to know HE is going to come through for us...the sun is going to rise on our lives...it is...because that's just the way it is and we know...
