"Wait"

Read Psalm 40:1-8

 

Soft words of exasperation

rise to God on gossamer wings,

sent by a troubled soul.

Please!!! Help!!!

 

The prayer is closed and

then the vast desert of silence

swallows the prayer whole.

 

The voice of God hushed,

unquotable since Biblical times,

shapes a spiritual deafness.

“Where is God?  I do not hear.”

 

The Psalmist knew.  Wait.

But for what?

Wait.

The one who made me and thee

and all this “domain”

has salted the earth

with every possibility,

every piece of the puzzle.

to the answer you seek.

 

Wait

And in the waiting look and see.

Listen and examine.

Open the mind and heart

to be blessed

by the unexpected.

 

Wait. God hears.  God is into saving.

 

Moving to the deeper places,

Jeff
