"But as for me, I will look to the Lord;
I will wait for the God of my salvation;
my God will hear me."
It is from Micah 7, verse 7.
During Ramadan, as I pray for my Muslim friends for the eleventh year, I find myself asking, pleading, "How long, oh Lord? How long will they remain in darkness? Bring forth your light!" Something about this statement from Micah -- in the midst of the dark and desolated, seemingly hopeless lives around him -- something about his words gives me great strength. I know that I am not alone in my pleas. Many others join with me in crying out for God to bring His light into their lives. I am determined to press on -- as Micah did -- in faith and wait for God to show Himself as only He can -- worthy of all glory and honor and praise, worthy of their lives. And I trust that my friends will one day see and believe and intimately know this all glorious God.
