ON “QUOTES OF THE DAY”

*1.* “The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord! For still the vision awaits its appointed time; it hastens to the end—it will not lie. If it seems slow, wait for it; it will surely come; it will not delay.” *2* “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices! I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope; my soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen for the morning, more than watchmen for the morning.” *3* “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. And now, O Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in you. For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is from him. Our soul waits for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.” *4* “Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me. Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him.”
