recall who i call upon.

"Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; 

on thee do i wait all the day."

psalm 25:5

He is the Compassionate Rescuer. and i have found salvation in Him. all of creation declares His might. all of creation sings of His power. i wait on Him. engaged in His process of refining. fending off idle pleasure for the sake of deep communion. and i am now realizing the time it takes. hours. days. minutes. years. seconds. slow. fast. perpetual. a wheel, spinning  spokes. mesmerizing and continual. i am a pouter and must confess that the time, the unceasing wait, causes me to thrust my lower lip out and display my displeasure. to wait all the day is a privilege that some would consider easygoing. effortless, even. it is not. it is not pleasant either. it is uncomfortable and squemish. 

but i want Him to prepare me and develop our love relationship. 

and this is what it takes. 

"Wait for the LORD; be strong and let your heart take courage;

Yes, wait for the LORD."

psalm 27:14

if i do not accept this exhortation it does me no good. it is nice to read. to challenge others with. to hang on a wall. but unless translated into my daily living it is useless. so i must recall who i call upon and resign to His will.
