"I will wait for the Lord, who is hiding his face from the house of Jacob. I will put my trust in him". - Ch 8 v 17
Waiting, hoping, obeying and trusting. They are all big words for me and this one verse reminds me of the challenge I face. It has been hard at times when I’ve not understood, or when God seems to have gone on holiday and forgotten all about me. It is at those times when I have to keep the knowledge of his perfection and the proof of his love so close.
The determination in this verse of that decision to wait and trust is inspiring. Knowing that the Lord of all is the only one we can fully trust in any situation. Surrendering all my timings and allowing him to work in His perfect and awesome way.

Yep, thanks Claire - that bit about trusting Him at the end of the verse, can be translated ' I am expecting Him', or 'I will be looking for Him' - I'll try to do that today.
I am going to add this verse to the little collection I have around the kitchen sink. While I'm washing up I look at my verses and remember all the things I can quickly forget about just how awesome our God is.
