Written by L. B. Cowman (1870-1960), a missionary and author. This is an excerpt from her book “Streams in the Desert.”
Waiting is much more difficult than walking. Waiting requires patience, and patience is a rare virtue. It is fine to know that God builds hedges around His people–when the hedge is looked at from the viewpoint of protection. But when the hedge is kept around one until it grows so high that he cannot see over the top, and wonders whether he is ever to get out of the little sphere of influence and service in which he is pent up, it is hard for him sometimes to understand why he may not have a larger environment–hard for him to “brighten the corner” where he is. But God has a purpose in all HIS holdups.
Prayer:
Written by Lesli White, a contemporary writer.
Teach me dear Lord to know wonder. If You are willing, I am waiting, ready to receive my blessing today. Amen.
