Agree with God, and be at peace; in this way good will come to you. ~ Job 22:21 (NRS)Wait upon God quietly, earnestly, but constantly and trustingly, for days—aye weeks, if need be! ~ Cady, H. Emilie. Complete Works of H. Emilie Cady (Annotated) . Unity Books. Kindle Edition.
Some translations of Job say, “Submit to God…”
I kind of like the juxtaposition of Submit,
Agree and Wait upon. And this discipline
I certainly need! To agree with God,
being at peace in God’s presence,
good will a natural result of it all.
And the persistence of waiting quietly,
earnestly, constantly trusting for days,
aye weeks, if need be! That rather
redefines constantly! So are you ready to try?
I think I am!
