For The Moment…60

Awake, why steepest thou, O Lord?

Psalm 44 verse 23

With all reverence, there are times when I feel the Lord is silent. I think in my heart he does not hear me.

I wonder if I am worthy to receive a blessing or a positive answer. Do I have his favor? I am so far gone in my life he will not hear me?

Others are receiving, and yet I am not receiving. Has he forgotten me? Maybe I am living a life not pleasing to him? Maybe I haven’t confessed my sins.

Then I remember His word he will never leave or forsake me.

Wait on the Lord, and he will bring it to pass.

Hope comes softly after a pause

#7 of 31  A Little Hope

“In hope we lift our wishful, longing eyes.”  J. G Deck (1802 – 1884)

Hope is soft

Hope comes softly after a pause.

During a storm,

During a flood.

During the misery of darkness, hold the line with even a little constancy,

knowing that Hope is near and that Hope will come softly.

“But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.” Romans 8 verse 25
