Ezra 1:1-2:70; Daniel 4:1-37; 3 John

And therefore will the Lord wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the Lord is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him. Isaiah 30:18

Lord waits on us to show His grace and mercy. His people must wait on Him to receive His blessings. Waiting is a godly virtue in conflict with our carnal nature. If He can wait on us to bless, we certainly can learn to wait on Him for His blessing. —Sam Thorpe, Jr.

If to some as a judge Thou appearest,
Who forth from Thy presence would flee,
A Friend most beloved I’ll greet Thee,
I’m waiting and watching for Thee. —Mrs. S. M. Henry
