Stirred By The Scriptures

“Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you… blessed are all who wait for him!” (Isaiah 30:18)

Two great bookends - God’s longing to give to us and happiness found in waiting on him. Over and over the scriptures reveal to us that God wants to give us grace, mercy and compassion. His desire is to bless us out of his character and in the relationship he has provided us in Jesus. The question we must answer is whether we will wait for him. God’s timing can often leave me doubting and even wondering where he is. Those are the times I return to the truth of God’s Word and choose to stay there.
