Wise Words on Wednesday: What you can

“Do what you can with all you have, wherever you are.”
Theodore Roosevelt
"We are travellers…not yet in our native land" – St. Augustine

“Do what you can with all you have, wherever you are.”

The group “Shane & Shane” do a fantastic job on this song, “I will wait for you”, which is based on one of my favourite Psalms, Psalm 130…
Out of the depths I cry to You
In darkest places I will call
Incline Your ear to me anew
And hear my cry for mercy Lord
Were You to count my sinful ways
How could I come before Your throne
Yet full forgiveness meets my gaze
I stand redeemed by grace alone
I will wait for You, I will wait for You
On Your word I will rely
I will wait for You, surely wait for You
Till my soul is satisfied
So put Your hope in God alone
Take courage in His power to save
Completely and forever won
By Christ emerging from the grave
Now He has come to make a way
And God Himself has paid the price
That all who trust in Him today
Find healing in His sacrifice
That all who trust in Him today
Find healing in His sacrifice
Oh I will wait for You, I will wait for You
Through the storm and through the night
I will wait for You, surely wait for You
For Your love is my delight
