Hope and Wait


Harvest Moon in Belfast, Maine by Ann L. Krumrein 

"'It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait.' (Lamentations 3:26)  I never saw, till recently, how that word 'both' exactly strikes the balance so needed...    Some of us rush ahead with our hopes and are downhearted when they crumble, having never learned to quietly wait.  Others go on quietly waiting for a lifetime, without much of the spring of hope anywhere; both hope and wait...in quietness and confidence; that is the answer."  ~Lilias Trotter

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in his word I hope.  ~Psalm 130:5
