Isaiah 49:8

Thus says the Lord:
     "In a time of favor, I have answered you..."

I trust you, God, but sometimes I wonder - what on earth are you up to? 

Expectation meets hope and longing finds joy...

Tonight is a "time of favor," God, however long that time may be, I am grateful.  You are God.  You're crazy sometimes, and I'm tempted to think, sometimes, that I am more organized, or a better long-range planner than you, but tonight I am simply blessed that you are God, my God, and you have answered me, in whatever this time of favor is.
