Waiting for the Promise

Acts 1:4 (NIV)
Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift
my Father promised.

Waiting on the Lord, for the promise given;
Waiting on the Lord, to send from Heaven;
Waiting on the Lord, by our faith receiving.
. . .
Waiting on the Lord, longing to mount higher;
Waiting on the Lord, having great desire;
Waiting on the Lord, for the heav’nly fire.
Charles F. Weigle, 1903

What about you? Are you like the disciples, waiting in faith? Are you waiting on the Lord with great desire, trusting His promises?
