Those Who Wait

Product Information

The good thing we await is in fact God’s deliverance, and finding ourselves out of the bad and in a new preferred outcome. Though this aphorism is optimistic at face-value and definitely reflects a Scriptural depiction of patience, are these words taken from Scripture? Different Bible translations of verse 31 convey a similar overall meaning. The NIV uses the phrase “those who hope in the Lord” and the Good News has “those who trust in the Lord for help,” while most others say “those who (they that) wait for (upon) the Lord.” The NIV and Good News clarify that waiting is not a passive act, but actively expecting God to work. Comfort, comfort my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem and proclaim to her that her hard service has been completed, that her sin has been paid for, that she has received from the Lord's hand double for all her sins” ( Isaiah 40:1-2). Well. She is very pretty," she whispered, "And, um, dedicated. Wealthy. Influential," she listed the only highlights of what she could remember from the articles she'd read, but it was a bit difficult to think when Charlotte was so close to her now that she could feel her warmth through her dress. I'm totally rooting for Charlotte to become the president one day—if I were American I would absolutely vote for her haha! Damn I loved this book. It's become one of my all time favourite romances. Please read this if you haven't already!

But, because Sutton is new to dating women, she asks Charlotte to be her advisor or, as they called it, "lesbian guru" (LMAO PLS). They end up becoming friends until Sutton proposes a friends-with-benefits situation because she thinks she'd be more comfortable getting used to lesbian sex with someone that she knew and trusted. Charlotte is hesitant because she does not want to take advantage of Sutton's inexperience, but they agree and there begins the magic. But even before, in several other occasions while they were 'just friends', the sexual tension was tearing at the seams. So the carpenter encouraged the goldsmith, and he that smootheth with the hammer him that smote the anvil, saying, It is ready for the sodering: and he fastened it with nails, that it should not be moved.Therefore the LORD is waiting to show you mercy, and is rising up to show you compassion, for the LORD is a just God. All who wait patiently for him are happy. Therefore the LORD waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the LORD is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him. Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom” ( Isaiah 40:28). When we try to push through fatigue on our own for too long, nothing may seem to help right away. But our Lord promises that He will never leave us empty or alone if we seek Him. So in time, we will receive not only a boost for the moment, but equipping to “soar” through life’s situations and demands. And therefore YHWH waits to favor you, | And therefore He is exalted to pity you, | For YHWH [is] a God of judgment, | O the blessedness of all waiting for Him. Because LORD JEHOVAH shall begin to show compassion upon you, and he shall be exalted to hover over you, because God is the Judge LORD JEHOVAH, and blessed are all who wait for himBecause Charlotte uses this app for hook-ups, she's not opposed to Sutton's original approach, but as they begin to talk with each other, Sutton makes it clear that she's not a one-night-stand kinda girl. regan annoyed me a little bit sometimes but ig i liked her? i ship her with emma, haley cass should write a book about them falling in love since they moved in together and everything lmao but they that wait for Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint. Charlotte has made my brain list of top hottest lesfic characters because WHAT THE HELL. Her....everything...had me all flustered. Her flaws were realistic and not overdone. Another testament to Cass's talent. And Sutton is just the sweet, blossoming-in-gay woman for her without being overly naive. Rather than a complete lapse of control, Charlotte leaned forward again. But paused when she felt Sutton eagerly lean in as well. She could feel Sutton's breath against her cheek, and she closed her eyes, as she whispered, "You are such a smart woman, Sutton, but so wrong."

but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.

Charlotte’s hands slid to cup her jaw lightly, thumbs brushing her cheeks. “Darling, take a deep breath for me.”” Therefore the LORD waits [expectantly] and longs to be gracious to you, And therefore He waits on high to have compassion on you. For the LORD is a God of justice; Blessed (happy, fortunate) are all those who long for Him [since He will never fail them]. She thought of the desire that was evident on Charlotte's face as she took her in, murmuring, "So, you wore this -" She hooked her finger into the lacy cup of Sutton's bra. "For me?" One of the major themes of Isaiah’s prophecy in the book is the coming of Christ. Isaiah drops many “pearls” of information about how and where the Messiah will arrive, as well as what His ministry will be. This, he declares, is the basis for our hope. He writes, “The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned” ( Isaiah 9:2).
