gracious to us.
us do our work with sincerity, not merely for human eyes, but for the eyes of our divine Master, whose gaze is constant.
2. The God you are to wait on is the One with whom you have to do, Hebrews 4:13. "All things, even the thoughts and intents of the heart, are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do." The phrase "with whom we have to do" (proV on hmin logoV) implies that we have business with Him, and He has business with us. It also suggests that we are accountable to Him, and there is an account to be kept.
We must each give an account of ourselves to Him, including every deed done in the body. This should move us to wait on Him daily, ensuring that through the blood of Christ, which balances our account, we remain reconciled with Him. If we reflected on how much we have to do with God each day, we would be more diligent and consistent in our attendance upon Him.
3. The God we are to wait upon continually waits to be gracious to us. He is always doing us good, going before us with the blessings of His goodness, daily loading us with benefits. He seizes every opportunity to show His care when we are in danger, His provision when we are in need, and His comfort when we are in sorrow.
His providence watches over us all day, preserving our going out and coming in, Psalm 121:8, providing timely relief and support, and manifesting His presence on "the mount of the Lord." Even more, His grace waits on us throughout the day, supplying strength according to the day's demands and every situation we face.
