Remaining Resolute

No ear has ever heard, no eye ever seen, any God but You working such deeds for those who wait for him. — Isaiah 64:4 NAB
 

Feeling left high and dry? Does it seem like everyone around you has already set sail while you're still on dry land? Can't see a way beyond your current spot? Or perhaps you've been praying about somthing for years and see no change.
 

Stay resolute. Pray for wisdom and seek ways to do good things in your "stuck" place.
 

Do justly, love mercy, walk humbly.
 

Perhaps someone needs a place to stay for the night. This Resolute unlaunched vessel still has something to offer.
 

PRAYER
Lord, when we have been faithful and obedient and don't understand why we haven't yet set sail, make us resolute and steadfast. Remind us that our labor for You is not in vain.
 

QUOTE
The servant of God must stand firm, trusting not in what is seen but in what is promised. Faith grows strongest when the results are delayed.  
 — St. Cyprian, Treatise on the Lord’s Prayer, 26
