In the beautiful and consoling Psalm 37, we read of God's abiding care and presence; we need but "commit our way to the Lord, trust in him and he will act." (cf. Ps 37: 5). Yes, our caring God, our Refuge, lets nothing go unnoticed, and as the seed described by Jesus (cf. Mk 26-29) grows during the night and eventually bears fruit, so is it with out spiritual growth and with that of those to whom we are trying to show and teach "the ways of the Lord." It is always amazing to see glimmers of what we think we have been pounding into the heads of our "charges" begin to emerge. The seed is sprouting, slowly, and God's grace is at work in his time. It takes weeks, months, for an amaryllis bulb to bloom, but oh, the wait is so worth it, so beautiful a flower it produces. All it took was a bit of water, sunlight, TIME and PATIENCE. We need to renew our commitment daily to God, and, surely he will act...IN HIS TIME.
