The Hallway Of Waiting
There are situations of life
where we must endure
because we're desperate
and seeking the way.
One door of life shuts
while we're forced to wait
for an open door,
day after day.
And there we must stand
in the Hallway of Waiting
watching for the answer
God sends.
We're stuck just beyond
the shut door behind us
in a hallway that seems
not to end.
But the Hallway of Waiting
has infinite value
if we let God do what He
does the best.
For there in the waiting
our faith can be built
while He comforts our souls
with His rest.
And there in-between
the doors of our lives
lies the challenge of Who
gets our trust.
Because there we take stock
of the promises of God
and believe that He
gave them for us.
It's there in the emptiness
of our "personal unknown"
that we find what is solid remains.
For the blessedness of uncertainty
is the anchor of Christ
who holds us regardless of pain.
Then God sheds His light
on all stages of life
giving value no matter how long.
For He brings His glory between
the doors of discouragement
so His children can wait and be strong.

Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the LORD,
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary.
His understanding is unsearchable.
He gives power to the weak,
And to those who have no might
He increases strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
And the young men shall utterly fall,
But those who wait on the LORD
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
( Isaiah 40:28-31 )
1 ~ The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 ~ When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 ~ Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 ~ One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
5 ~ For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6 ~ And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.
7 ~ Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 ~ When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek.
9 ~ Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 ~ When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
11 ~ Teach me thy way, O LORD, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
12 ~ Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13 ~ I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
14 ~ Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
( Psalm 27 )(KJV) |
