"The saint's duty is to be still and listen.
When God gives you a vision
and darkness follows,
wait.
God will bring the vision He has given you
to reality in your life
if you will wait on His timing."
and darkness follows,
wait.
God will bring the vision He has given you
to reality in your life
if you will wait on His timing."
Oswald Chambers
God gave David the vision of being king. David waited in the "dark" while Saul sought his life. David refused to raise his hand against Saul, instead he waited in the darkness for God's timing and God brought the vision of kingship to reality in David's life. May we wait with the same courage and integrity through the dark periods in our lives. May we rest assured that the vision God has given us for our families, our churches, our ministries - He will bring to reality in His time no matter how dark the darkness seems. No darkness is so great that His light is not greater. When there is darkness, human nature seeks escape. Instead, let us wait. Let us trust that we will see the light.

Robert says that we are certainly waiting. :-) Thank you for sending that. Very appropriate. It certainly meets us where we are at. I also bookmarked Stacy's new blog, as well. I will have to go back to read it though. It is reading time. (When isn't it reading time? :-)
