There is but one God, but one source of life and happiness for the heart; He only is my Rock; my soul, wait thou only upon Him.

God wants me to be, and God waits to make me, I want to be, and I wait on Him to make me, every moment, what He expects of me, and what is well-pleasing in His sight If waiting on God be of the essence of true religion, the maintenance of the spirit of entire dependence must be continuous.

What new meaning and promise does this give to our life of waiting! It teaches us ever to keep the place where the disciples tarried at the foot stool of the Throne. It reminds us that, as helpless as they were to meet their enemies, or to preach to Christ’s enemies, till they were endued with power, we, too, can only be strong in the life of faith, or the work of love, as we are in direct communication with God and Christ, and they maintain the life of the Spirit in us.
