Waiting, but living in the now
"I waited patiently for the Lord, (Psalm 40:1) I t seems as though we are always waiting for something. And while we wait we are tempted to believe that life will be better on the other side of the fence, when we arrive at the point for which we are waiting. But that's a lie . Life is always green right here and right now. As Ann Voskamp simply and yet, poignantly states, "God is always good, and we are always loved." The still waters and green pastures are here and now, because God is here and now. " As the deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. when shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day long, "Where is your God?" These things I remember , as I pour out my soul: how I would go with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God
