The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. Lamentations 3:25
“Realize above all that you are in God’s presence . . . empty yourself completely and sit waiting, content with the grace of God, like a chick that tastes nothing and eats nothing except what its mother gives it.”
Romuald in A Dictionary of Quotes from the Saints, ed. Paul Thigpen (Charlotte: TAN Books, 2001) 121.
I am posting this from Frankfurt en route home to Denver. It’s been a fruitful trip. Reply if you’d like a copy of my GTP trip report.
Romuald gives helpful advice for all who want to live a generous life: “empty yourself and sit waiting content with the grace of God.”
Then he paints a vivid word picture “like a chick that tastes nothing and eats nothing except what its mother gives it.” Are we as dependent on God as a little chick?
I am weary and waiting on God to restore my strength on the long journey home and to resource me for generous giving and service.
