Prolonged Waiting Upon God
Psalm 25:5
Lead me in your truth, and teach me: for you are the God of my salvation; on you do I wait all the day.


The thoughtless rush before God, in which we expect to get all we covet and away again, is worse than sacrilege. The unapproachable glories cannot be known in the twinkling of an eye. One of Ruskin's pupils once said to him, "The instant I entered the gallery at Florence I knew what you meant by the supremacy of Boticelli." "In an instant, did you?" was the somewhat withering reply. "It took me twenty years to find it out." If we wait before God for a lifetime we shall only just begin to feel His enchantments.

(Thomas G. Selby.)
