George Herbert's Waiting in the Country Parish - Anglican (Isaiah 40:31)
George Herbert gave up a promising career at Cambridge to become a country parson in tiny Bemerton. Some saw it as a waste of his talents. For three years until his death at 39, he served an obscure flock, visited the sick, wrote poems. His poetry wasn't published until after his death—and has influenced millions. Herbert waited on God in obscurity; God multiplied his words across centuries. "Those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength." Sometimes waiting means faithfulness in small places, trusting God with the multiplication.
