Waiting
On God
"My
soul, wait thou only upon God." Psa. 62:5. There is
no soul exercise so strengthening. It is what will develop
wings. See Isa. 40:31. It enables the saint to live in the
mountain heights. He lives in the upper realm where the
sun shines. While the storm and tempest are raging below,
the wings of his soul are beating the air where the
sunlight gleams. You may judge such a one, but he is too
high to be reached by man's judgment. Nothing you can do
to him that will trouble him. He will love you and do you
good, however much you may mistreat him. You can not turn
him aside from loyalty to God. He is up where he is in
tune with the Infinite. He is up where no earthly thing
intercepts the messages from heaven to his soul. No
earthly circumstances or condition can break the harmony
he has with God. He sails on an unruffled sea. Waves of
glory roll around him like a sea of light. While among men
he is above men. While in the furnace he walks with God
and there no obnoxious odor of the earthly circumstance
gets on his garments. He is surrounded with a pure and
heavenly atmosphere. The great secret of a holy and happy
life while living in the world is to live above it.
"My soul, wait thou only upon God." Put the
emphasis on "only."
