Wait-wait on the Lord, the psalmist encourages. So I
wait-waited in my prayer window, lingering long, asking for a word, asking God
to guide my prayers. They circumnavigated the globe and then when I checked a
message on Messenger, it was a series of amazing Gospel singers, one after the
other, singing the well-known spiritual, He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands.
Of course he does. Of course we know that. But it was so
encouraging to hear it sung with conviction and grace and beauty.
I saw, in my imagination, a root. A root which stretched
underground, out of sight, but which was sprouting along its length. Sprouting
new green shoots, shoots reaching through the darkness to the light.
May this time of fear and darkness be shot through with rays
of brilliant light, Jesus. May this light draw many out of the darkness as they
search for meaning and comfort. May we be bearers of hope and faith in the
goodness of God, as we email, text and talk on the phone to our family, friends
and neighbours.
We all have time now to wait-wait on the Lord. He is waiting
patiently for each of us to draw near.
