How are you all doing with your writing? Do you have days, (or even weeks) when nothing seems to come? I struggle in those times because I hate to wait, but waiting is something God loves! It is usually just about then that I remember how God prefers me to be quiet, or take time out for a walk, listen to what others have to say and finally rest in the fact that He has already accomplished everything I will ever need for all eternity. It is in those moments when I finally come to a full stop, that I hear His voice again, and He breathes a gentle thought for a poem, a song or a story into my heart. Today’s poem is a reflection on that moment, and I hope it may be an encouragement to one of you today.
God is working slowly His purposes by grace And every word He’s spoken Forever stands in place
But I 'm in a hurry I really hate to wait Today I wish He’d hurry up Because it’s getting late!
But then I remember That sweetest apples grow From trees that rest all Winter Beneath deep drifts of snow
In moments of laughter, we ran out to see Like children wondering all that might be Hiding in secret down under old logs In treetops or ponds where we used to catch frogs
And when day was done, our dads started calling “Come in for the night, for the darkness is falling!” We came traipsing home telling all we had done Our adventures with spiders and races we won
And mom in the doorway would patiently listen Then say, “Go scrub those hands till I see them glisten!” And Dad picked us up to come sit in His chair For that time which was best was our moment in prayer
