Watch and wait for the Lord (Meister Eckhart)


   For we should be as our Lord told us:  You should be like those who at all times watch and wait for their Lord.  Truly, such vigilant people are alert and on the watch for the Lord for whom they wait; they look to see if he is not by chance concealed in what befalls them, however strange it may be to them.  So we too should consciously look out for our Lord in all things.  This demands much effort, and must cost us all that our senses and faculties are capable of.  But this is the right thing for us to do, so that we grasp God in the same way in all things and find him equally everywhere.

--Meister Eckhart, Selected Writings
