Waiting and Listening

Isaiah 64:1-5

Isaiah 64:1-5 (NRSV):

1  O that you would tear open the heavens and come down,

    so that the mountains would quake at your presence—

2 as when fire kindles brushwood

    and the fire causes water to boil—

to make your name known to your adversaries,

    so that the nations might tremble at your presence!

3 When you did awesome deeds that we did not expect,

    you came down; the mountains quaked at your presence.

4 From ages past no one has heard,

    no ear has perceived,

no eye has seen any God besides you,

    who works for those who wait for him.

5 You meet those who gladly do right,

    those who remember you in your ways.

But you were angry, and we sinned;

    because you hid yourself we transgressed.

Queries:

What are people waiting for?

What am I waiting for?

What am I listening for?
