Note to Self

I believe that I shall look upon the
goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living!
Wait for the Lord,
be strong, and let your heart take
courage,
wait for the Lord!

-Psalm 27.13-14

I think it's the kind of waiting that goes along with being patient; an active waiting, rather than a passive waiting (which would be idle and lazy) that the Psalmist is writing about. How many of us would rather not wait for that things we so desire? We are impatient by nature. We recognize that this time we have on earth is fleeting. So, we are obliged to enjoy the lovely things that God has provided. Seize the opportunities and joys. But at the same time wait for God to show you the next step. Don't get so wrapped up in yourself that you start listening to yourself rather than God. Even when standing on the edge....pause and listen.

Seek ye first the kingdom of God.
And all these things shall be added unto you.
(Matthew 6.33)
