In the Waiting

I wish that God spoke to me like He spoke to Moses, “mouth to mouth”. I desire to be certain that I have heard His voice. Sometimes we hear only to see things not fulfilled in our timing. Like Abraham, who was promised that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars, looked upon the night sky and had to wonder, “Did I not hear, was I wrong?” because he remained fatherless. A.S. Peake wrote, “The courage to abandon work on which one’s heart is set and accept inaction as the will of God is of the rarest and highest kind and can be created and sustained only by the clearest spiritual vision.”

As we wait, the time can be best spent strengthening our relationship with God by hearing, from the reading of His word and through prayer to bring into focus our spiritual vision.” Lord, give us that rarest and highest form of faith, to believe when our eyes, for the moment cannot see.
