Eugene Peterson’s Message, Isaiah 30:18f
“But God’s not finished.
He’s waiting around to be gracious to you.
He’s gathering strength to show mercy to you.
God takes the time to do everything right—everything.
Those who wait around for him are the lucky ones.
“Oh yes, people of Zion, citizens of Jerusalem, your time of tears is over.
Cry for help and you’ll find it’s grace and more grace.
The moment he hears, he’ll answer.”
