Waiting Quietly

Oftentimes the Lord says, “Wait”.
Or He may tell us just to “rest”.
Learning to have faith in Him
Can sometimes be a lengthy test.

We should not question what He says,
Knowing He is in control.
Though waiting sometimes is a “stretch”,
Impatience oft can take a toll.

The Lord will guard and keep us safe
If we do not start to wander.
He knows what is best for us.
His timing we should never squander.

“The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord.”
Lamentations 3:25-26 KJV

“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”
Matthew 11:28 KJV
