As I came to sit down at the table this morning, I kept hearing this phrase—like it kept interrupting me in what I was journaling and reflecting on…
“…but for now, I will wait for You…”
And I wasn’t really sure where this was going, but I sat with it for a bit, and I asked the Lord what He meant…and more came.
So, I’m not really sure what this is, but perhaps this is for someone in particular this morning…
“…but for now,
I will wait for You
and for what
You are going to do.
And as I wait…
I know
that I am not ‘lagging behind’
because You are doing what You do,
even when there is “nothing I can do“, God.
You are putting things into place
that I cannot see.
You are building, You are positioning me—
even when what appears now
doesn’t seem to many any sense.
Or doesn’t seem to “fit into place.”
In the meantime,
as I wait
I will draw closer to You,
I will discover what is true…
Because I know
that You are near
And I know
that You are here.
And I know…
that You are doing
what only You can do
in “this”…
So for now…
I will wait
and I will watch—expectantly, for You.”
