"WAIT ?"

OUT OF THE DEPTHS

I CRY TO YOU, O LORD;

LET YOUR EARS BE ATTENTIVE

TO MY CRY FOR MERCY.

IF YOU, O LORD, KEPT A RECORD

OF SINS,

O LORD WHO COULD STAND?

BUT WITH YOU THERE IS FORGIVENESS,

THEREFORE YOU ARE FEARED.

I WAIT FOR THE LORD, MY SOUL WAITS,

AND IN HIS WORD I PUT MY HOPE.

MY SOUL WAITS FOR THE LORD,

MORE THAN A WATCHMAN WAIT FOR THE

MORNING,

MORE THAN WATCHMAN WAIT FOR THE

MORNING.

PUT YOUR HOPE IN THE LORD,

FOR WITH THE LORD IS

UNFAILING LOVE.

DEAR  PRECIOUS BELIEVER; DO YOU SEE THE TREASURE THIS PSALMIST HAS FOUND?  FIRST HE CRIES, AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT GOD HAS EARS, THAT HE CAN FIND MERCY AND FORGIVENESS WITH HIM.  HE HEARS YOU!

THEN COMES THE KEY TO HIS CRY; "I WAIT," EVEN DEEPER DOES HE LAY HOLD OF THIS INNER TRUTH. HE SAIDS; MY SOUL WAITS, MY INNER MAN, MY THOUGHTS,MY PLANS, MY INTERPRETATION OF MATTERS BEFORE ME. HE SPEAKS TO THE INNER STORM!  BLESS THE LORD OH, MY SOUL! "I WILL WAIT!"

SO WHEN DID HE COME TO HIS SENSES ?

WHEN HE SETTLED IN THE PLACE OF SOUL REST,

WITH THE WORDS:

AND IN HIS WORD WILL I PUT MY HOPE!!!!!!

WHAT DID HE THAN RECEIVE IN THESE DEPTHS ?

UNFAILING LOVE!!!!!!!!

HOW ABOUT YOU ?           HE HEARS YOU!
