It is blessed for every child of God, and much more for all the Prophets of the Lord, I mean the ministers of the Lord, to sit down in silent waiting at the feet of Jesus to be prepared for his service. That public ministry is likely to be blessed, that is the result of divine direction, in silent and private waiting on the Lord. Isaiah 40:31 and Isaiah 41:1.
