Here is a sweet view of a gracious soul in particular, and of the Church, in general, in the silent, humble, waitings on the Lord, as well in providence as grace. I hope the Reader is brought acquainted with these things. A life of God in the soul cannot be kept up without it. If we have union with Christ, we cannot but have communion with God; and devout souls know what it is, in night visits from Jesus and to Jesus, us well as in daily approaches, both public and private, to his court, to enjoy fellowship with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ; 1 John 1:3; Psalms 5:3; Song of Solomon 3:1; Psalms 130:1 throughout. Indeed it is this which marks their character from that of the ungodly who know not God.

Isaiah 26:8-10
8 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the remembrance of thee.
9 With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
10 Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
