“The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.”  (Lamentations 3:25-26)

Hi there Almost Daily Readers! So glad to be back with you and grateful for all the Mockingbird contributors who showed up in your inboxes.

Treebeard, the ancient and wizened Ent in Tolkien’s LOTR, says, “Things will go as they will go. There is no hurry to meet them.” How often have you wanted some future moment to “hurry up and get here.” But things will go as they will go. And the One who makes them go at His own pace in none other than the God who loves you – the God whose timing is always perfect.

Amen. See you tomorrow!

“O God of peace, who hast taught us that in returning and rest we shall be saved, in quietness and confidence shall beour strength: By the might of thy Spirit lift us, we pray thee, to thy presence, where we may be still and know that thou art God; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”
