My soul waiteth for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning: I say, more than they that watch for the morning. --PSALMS 130:6
The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness. --PSALMS 18:28
A SOUL that is patient waits with calm endur.ance for light before acting, and in virtue of this calm and patient endurance suffers no pain or anxiety, because the soul possesses herself and waits for light; and when the mind waits patiently for light, sooner or later it is sure to come. Trials of mind affect us more deeply than pains of body, and if we give way to anxiety such trials become troubles, and are immensely increased. But this cannot happen to those patient souls, who feel that they are in the hands of God, and are encircled with His fatherly providence, and that all things are in His disposal. When we see not our way through some trial or difficulty, we have only to look to God, and to wait in patience, and in due time His light will come and guide us. This very attitude of waiting, this very pa.tience of expecting, will dispose the mind to receive, and the will to rightly use, the needful light. When.ever you are perplexed as to what course you should take, if you go blindly into action you will be sure to repent it. Wait for light, wait with patience, and light will not fail you. --WILLIAM BERNARD ULLATHORNE
