Wait ~ Isaiah 30: 15- 18


p.s thanks to Ricky Sim for posting this picture on FB, which I felt compelled to share with my blog readers :)

Seeing the picture above brings to my mind about my daily devotional which I did 2 days ago. The author quoted Isaiah 30: 15-18 & mentioned as follows:

“Why did He have to ‘long’ to be gracious ? If He is so ready to show us His compassion, why does He wait ?
2 related reasons -
1. There is a purging purpose that only time can accomplish in our hearts; and

2.His compassion only becomes visible when we’re repentant [v. 15]. Humility is the key. Most of God’s blessings are promised to the humble – those who acknowledge their bankrupt condition before Him. None are promised to the proud.”

This I can attest as I am experiencing this right now.
