I previously told the story of how God blessed me (and Steve, too) with a verse in a special way. I have been sitting in that verse and sitting and sitting... but for the past few weeks I have moved a little space down the page. To Isaiah 30:18. In the Amplified Bible. You can sit here, too!
"And therefore the Lord earnestly waits expecting, looking, and longing to be gracious to you; and therefore He lifts Himself up, that He may have mercy on you and show loving-kindness to you. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who earnestly wait for Him, who expect and look and long for Him - for His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His joy, and His matchless, unbroken companionship!"
Expect and look and long for Him today. He is earnestly waiting to be gracious to you.
