“Wait on the Lord" is a constant refrain in the Psalms,
and it is a necessary word, for God often keeps us waiting.
He is not in such a hurry as we are, and it is not his way
to give more light on the future than we need for action
in the present, or to guide us more than one step at a time.

When action is needed, light will come.”
― J.I. Packer, theologian
Today is the birthday of
the late theologian J.I. Packer,
who would have turned 94 today
