But Today You Wait On God. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

We waitfor
doctor's appointments,
red or green lights,
traffic backups,
grocery lines,
income tax refunds,
and insurance checks.

We wait for babies to be born.
We wait almost daily
with anxious eyes
that your kidsgrow up.

We usually prefer fast-food,
instant communication
through social media,
immediate profits,
and magical answers
to difficult questions.

But today you wait on God.

When we wait on God,
He gives us new perspectives.

"More than they that watch for the morning."
we are to wait on God like night guards
who never slack their attention,
but who are eager for dawn
to emerge, when the long,
tiring, stretch of darkness
has evaporated. (Cfr. Psalms 130: 5-6 of the Old Testament) .
