From My Utmost for His Highest ...

'Peter said to Him, "Lord, why can I not follow You now?"' John 13:37.

There are times when you cannot understand why you cannot do what you want to do. When God brings a time of waiting and appears to be unresponsive ... just wait. The time of waiting may come to teach you the meaning of sanctification, to be set apart from sin and made holy. Or it may come after the process of sanctification has begun to teach you what service means ... wait for God's timing and He will do it without any heartache or disappointment.

~ Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest, January 4

Having to wait will cause us to grow, if we will only let it....
Love you,

Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art.
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.

High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
