Waiting

It is important to remember at all times that God is good and God is love. Sometimes we go through times of trial and our faith may falter. God's timetable is not as we would like it to be. He allows us to wait and in the waiting we get to know Him that much better.

Waiting but not in ignorance,
Wishing for earlier bliss.
Not my will, but Thine be done,
Was answered by the enemy's kiss.
But my enemy is not my Father,
Though difficulties confuse the cause.
For God is good and God is love,
Omnipotence allowed this pause.
Though darkness is descending,
I'll trust my Savior's plan.
His wisdom shown in heartache,
One day, I'll understand.

    So true! As painful as waiting is sometimes, it's comforting to remind myself that God is in control, He knows how much we can handle (even if we might wish to disagree), He knows the outcome of every circumstance, and He will use each difficulty to our benefit.

    Thank you for the beautiful poem.
