And the waters
       continued to abate...

               Genesis 8. 5

(Give God the space
           and time to work)

O LORD,
Help us to know
that Your way
         and Your timing are perfect,
even in mystery.
You are not just on time,
        but before time.
You have gone before us
  to prepare Your way in this.
Sometimes things
         just need to ripen
for Your purposes,
for Your glory,
and that we may realize You
          in yet a deeper dimension.
