William Shewen, a contemporary of George Fox, keeps coming back to waiting in <I>Counsel to the Christian-Traveller</I>:<br />"It is a very precious thing, to witness a true waiting upon the Lord. Many great and glorious promises are made to those that truly wait upon him....Hereby may all Christendom, so called, be tried and judged, specifically by this one word; they pretend a worshipping and waiting upon the Lord, but they lack the good things....This waiting does not begin when our solemn meetings begin, neither does it end with them, but remains always."Billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17063175711541546350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217199.post-75312674964009113312009-05-29T10:29:10.837+04:002009-05-29T10:29:10.837+04:00Absolutely right!
