The following excerpt I found this morning while reading through an old journal:
August 1, 2009... Something Hutchman and I can use and must remember: God is a God "who acts for those who wait for Him" - Isaiah 64:4. It may take some waiting, too, because I would imagine God would want to see our faith, the extent of it. He must delight when all our trust is in Him and we're counting on nothing else!
I had not remembered writing this. Isaiah 64:4 has been much in my heart and on my lips in prayer over the past year in relation to several different areas of life. Then I find this old musing on it in my own journal and, in effect, have myself exhorting myself to hold fast to these same truths.
Our God is a God who acts for those who wait for Him. Be encouraged therefore. His ways are perfect. His timing is perfect. We must continue to pray and not lose heart, persistent-widow style (Luke 18:1-8).
