Robert Leighton (Waiting)

Therefore, it is our wisdom and our peace, to resign all things into His hands, to have no will nor desires, but only this, that we may still wait for Him. All shall be well enough, if we but get rid of the vain hopes and expectations of this world. None who indulgeĀ  them are so well but they are still waiting for somewhat further. Now, amidst all that, our soul may say with David, and speak it to God as known to Him, that it is so indeed: And now, Lord, what wait I for? My hope is in thee. My expectation or waiting, (the same word that is here,) is all placed upon Thee.

Robert Leighton (Archbishop of Glasgow, 1611 – 1684)
