In Humble Fear And Hope

"Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon them that fear Him. Upon them that hope in His mercy; to deliver their soul from death. And to keep them alive in famine. Our soul hath waited for the Lord: He is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in Him. Because we have trusted in His holy name. Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us. According as we wait for Thee"-Psalm 33:18-22 (Eng. Rev.).
"God's eye is upon His people; their eye is upon Him. In waiting upon God, our eye, looking up to Him, meets His looking down upon us. This is the blessedness of waiting upon God, that it takes our eyes and thoughts away from ourselves, even our needs and desires, and occupies us with our God. We worship Him in His glory and love, with His all-seeing eye watching over us, that He may supply our every need. "
My soul, wait thou only upon God. Taken from Waiting on God by Andrew Murray, Chapter 10.

Have a peaceful, quiet day waiting upon Him.
Hugs, Noreen

  4. Love this Nor, but you knew I would!! May there be JOY in the waiting!! :o)

    Hope your weekend is going nicely! I am still tiring easily and having to rest more often than I'd like. Dr. says 3-4 weeks probably before I'll feel more like my old self! Each day is better!

    Love you bunches!
