Isaiah 49:18-23 Remembering the Emanuel Martyrs and Survivors
Kings shall be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. With their faces to the ground they shall bow down to you, and lick the dust of your feet. Then you will know that I am the LORD; those who wait for me shall not be put to shame. Isaiah 49:23 NRSV
Wait for the Lord. Wait with power. Wait knowing that help is on the way.
