“Waiting on God requires the willingness to bear uncertainty, to carry within oneself the unanswered question.” Â Elizabeth Elliot
“Waiting on God requires the willingness to bear uncertainty, to carry within oneself the unanswered question.” Elizabeth Elliot
These words introduced our “Silence” last Sunday morning, and I thought of this post from a couple years ago. I update it here with this quote and share it again.
There is as much uncertainty/as many unanswered questions as ever.
I gaze at the frozen lake…
the gray of late afternoon.
“It’s sad, here today,” I think.
Nothing here . . .
just cold
gray
lifelessness….
And You remind me . . .
There IS life here.
I just can’t see it.
Resting is your plan.
Help me know
You are still at work
even when it’s winter.
You Made both Summer and winter. Psalms 74:17b
I am waiting for our house to sell, our move to be over and to be settled in my new place. I want God to be with me during this time of unsettleness.
Love it, I enjoyed your blog the simple look and the layout. Good job. Welcome to the Sunday community.
Uncertainty & unanswered questions here, too…. So MUCH I just. can’t. see.
