Reflection
Have you ever been silent. Really silent? Sitting so still that you could sense your own breathing. Without thoughts, without worry.
“For God alone my soul waits in silence, for my hope is from him” (Psalm 62)
We cannot tell what God will do in our midst, but we wait with bated breath to see it. Why? It hardly ever makes sense, our waiting on God. Why do we do it? Why do we bother? We bother because all our hope rests in God. We have nothing without God. God is our refuge, the source of our salvation. Our souls cry out to the One who saves us, so we wait for him no matter what
God is about to do something big in our midst. Are we willing to wait in intense silence to see what it will be? Are we willing to stay on the edges of our seats even when it doesn't make any rational sense? Are we willing to cling to the One we need no matter what?
Prayer
God, there are times when the waiting is hard. It seems we wait forever for you to do something, As we wait for you let us be reminded that you are always moving, always doing something within and among us, no matter how small. Help us to cling to you always. Amen
