Waiting

Mary Tramp and I sit on our sundeck while Mary reads Psalm 103. Do we have too much to do to be sitting? NO. Do we have lots of things on our plate? YES. You are not wasting time when you sit before the Lord. Open your eyes and ears and your heart will be blessed. As I write this I am thinking about you, my friends, who will read this blog. Take it from the old man, you are not wasting time when you make yourself available to the Shepherd. There is an old saying that idleness is the Devil’s workshop but business can also be his workshop. The journey is too important to get ahead of the Shepherd. When you don’t know what to do, you need to do some waiting. The first five verses reads: Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. (NKJV)
Mary Tramp and I think you should take the time to read all of Psalm 103. jfs
