This is the week of Hope once again during the advent season. It was this week, four years ago, that The Lord first spoke to me about the promise of Hope.
A verse I am reading this morning reminds me to be patient. The Lord is in control and it is not my place to take things into my own hands.
The Lord is good to those who put their hope in Him. He is good to those who look to Him. It is good when people wait quietly for The Lord to save them. Lamentations 3:25-26
How appropriate that the verses are in a book called Lamentations!! Just as the chosen people were lamenting their situation, there are times I wonder what in the world is taking so long!!
Thankfully, The Lord has been gracious to show me, at times, the imperfection of my timing. I want to wait for God's perfect time! But, oh how hard that can be sometimes!
I see children waiting for homes and I just want to take care of all of them!! And I know and trust that one of them is ours.
Until God reveals her to us, I hope in Him, look to Him, and wait (mostly) quietly for Him. Because it is GOOD.
