At the beach, the sun set quickly. There it is in all its brilliance. And then, it’s gone! We took a short two days away this past week and were awarded with beautiful beach weather. Little wind. Sun. And sunsets. In rapid succession, the sun bid us goodbye.
Often, I’m waiting for something. Today I was reminded of how I should wait.
Rest (emphasis mine)in the LORD,
and wait patiently for him (Psalms 37:7)
If you know me at all, you know I’m not terribly patient! And I don’t sit still much, either! But I am reminded with those words: Rest: hold peace, quiet self, be silent, stand still. Patiently: trust, wait carefully. And most important. Who are we waiting on? The self-existent, eternal LORD!
Words I need to heed and ponder on this beautiful Friday morning. When I consider who I’m waiting on–the eternal, self existent LORD, I know I can wait. He knows.
Just as the setting sun, with brilliant apricot skies, the bright orange orb that quickly drops into the sea, our waiting will end.

Thanks. I needed this. A lot in Hebrews 3 and 4 about entering into His rest.
I’m glad, Barbara!
I waited six months for my house to be built. Now I’ve lived in it a month so blessed to have this beautiful home ( of course my last home was also beautiful). But now I’m hit with the sadness of being alone which I managed to ignore a little during house building. So I’m back to waiting for God to continue healing my broken heart-which I know He will. Patience can be hard.
I get it, Jane. The highs and lows of grief. I’m glad you’re waiting on the eternal One. He knows….
Let’s Enjoy our wait today😉❤️🙏🏼🎶👍🍀🌈💥🎉👏🏼🌹Godbless us each & everyone
Thanks Rosaleen! Hugs SIL!
