So many times I whine that I’m “waiting on God,”
but the truth is He is the one waiting on me.
In our confession, surrender, and stillness God works a miracle:
He turns our “waiting” into praise.
What joy it must bring the Father when His children
begin to understand that kind of love.
Can you even imagine?
Welcome to Still Saturday where we pause after a busy week, move in quiet pilgrimage, maybe linger a while in some still place, and soak in the beauty of images and words. We’d love for you to join us. Get the details above, grab your favorite button, and link up below. We all love to hear if something especially speaks to your heart, but please don’t feel pressured to comment. Simply take some time to gaze long and drink deep.

I love this line…”In our confession, surrender, and stillness God works a miracle” There is so much truth wrapped up in that short line. We do our part and God is faithful to do His.
Beautiful words, as always 🙂

If only our waiting always turns into praise and not complaining! Our God loves us so much, even that He forgives! Patsy from HeARTworks and papemelroti

Michelle DeRusha says
Oh isn’t that the truth?! I’ve definitely caught myself waiting on Him…only to realize He’s waiting on me.
A joyful weekend to you, Sandy…

I love your photo! And even more, what you said here, “So many times I whine that I’m “waiting on God,” but the truth is He is the one waiting on me.” I have been in a time of waiting lately, but hadn’t thought to consider that I was the one delaying things.
Thanks for a wonderful post!
Blessings,
Joan
