If you are new to this blog, on Friday or Saturday I will post something from my Vault, or one of my other Writing Projects. The Psalms Project is my attempt to take the spirit of the Psalms and re-apply them and write new ones for today. I am NOT trying to replace the amazing Psalms already in the Bible! I am in no way trying to paraphrase or restate each Psalm, but I do pay homage to them and other Bible passages, of course. While often meant as songs in the Hebrew Scriptures, mine are more like meditative essays. I invite you to play along, see what you might identify with or relate to in these. So, here is another Psalm for a Modern Day. (And yes, I did refresh the Picture for this segment.)
WAITING-TIME
Waiting, oh who likes waiting? Waiting for a bus, or a call, or waiting for God. We do not like to wait for Him. But,
His timing shows his sovereignty. x
Selah.
God exists outside time and inside time, and can be in every time at once; He is never late.
God is to be praised!
The past hurts are His to heal, we need only return to them, trusting we will find Him there. For He was in them all along, even it didn’t seem like it.
God is to be praised!
When we go to the future, we so often go alone, rushing ahead in our minds, and we fantasize that He is not there. Foolishness! If He was always in the past, and is with us now, will He not be there in the future to greet us?
God is to be praised!
He commands us through the prophets of old to wait on Him, to let go of time, to let Him manage it, not us. He bids us even now be still, and recall who He is, was, and will be.
God is to be praised!
