Blessed posture! Waiting truly and only upon the LORD. Be this
our condition all this day and every day. Waiting His leisure, waiting in
His service, waiting in joyful expectation, waiting in prayer, and
content. When the very soul thus waits, it is in the best and truest
condition of a creature before his Creator, a servant before his Master, a child
before his Father. We allow no dictation to God, nor complaining of Him;
we will permit no petulance and no distrust. At the same time, we practice
no running before the cloud and no seeking to others for aid: neither of these
would be waiting upon God. God, and God alone, is the expectation of our
hearts.
Blessed Assurance! From Him salvation is coming; it is on the road.
It will come from him and from no one else. He shall have all the glory of
it, for He alone can and will perform it. And He will perform it most
surely in His own time and manner. He will save from doubt, and suffering,
and slander, and distress. Though we see no sign of it as yet, we are
satisfied to bide the LORD'S will, for we have no suspicion of His love and
faithfulness. He will make sure work of it before long, and we will praise
Him at once for the coming mercy.
--Charles Spurgeon
