Waiting Cultivates Patience

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: Psalms 130

Worship song: I Will Wait for You

 


Meditation:

    The Bible is rich with stories demonstrating God's faithfulness to his promises, revealing how and when they were accomplished. The biblical accounts of Abraham, Sarah, Hannah, and Joseph illustrate how God's promises unfold over time, through testing, and in ways that are often unexpected. While the divine promise took many years to materialize for these individuals, their stories demonstrate God's enduring faithfulness. Patience is a virtue that is built over time as a result of waiting for a promise to be fulfilled. However, not everyone has the gift of waiting patiently. 

    Habakkuk 1:1-2 highlights the prophet's frustration and confusion over the delay of God's judgment, as he witnessed widespread violence and injustice, leading him to question why God seems unmoved by his desperate cries for divine intervention. Like the Prophet Habakkuk, we can become impatient and frustrated while waiting for promised change. However, God's timing is perfect and His promises are certain. By completely trusting and relying on Him, we show that we are entirely dependent on His guidance. 

    The Psalmist reminds us to have unwavering faith in God's character and to wait with patience, confident that his promises will be fulfilled in his time. Waiting builds our faith, confidence, and trust in God. God's timing is perfect, so wait on the Lord, be of good courage, and he will strengthen and exalt you.

Let us pray:

    Most gracious Father, we acknowledge your sovereignty and dominion power. We rely on you to strengthen us to soar on wings like eagles, run and not become weary, and walk and not faint. Lord, in our weakness and discouragement, strengthen our faith so we may always trust your perfect plan. Almighty God, grant us courage to wait with patience, develop a strong resilience, persevere to the end while trusting your promise and timing. Calm our minds and help us to surrender our anxiety to you. Lord, we trust in Your infinite patience and depend on You to grant us our desire as we align our hearts with Your will. Father, many are the challenges we encounter, but we trust you, Almighty God, to deliver us from the enemy's plans and guide our every step in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. 

Wishing you an awesome day. 💕🙏🙌

    Waiting is like a heavy weight that we want to throw down and it won't go down. Waiting is also serving without tips or reward it is not coming forth but it is forthcoming. If we can find comfort in the company of others or friends we can find solace and courage. There is no other way but to wait on the Lord, whether He is near or far. Waiting will yield great results. Blessings 🙏💪🙏🙏

Appointed For a Purpose

Good morning Scripture reading: 2 Chronicles 20:18-22 Worship Song: Atmosphere Shift   Meditation:      The people of Judah, led by King Jehoshaphat, demonstrated their submission and reliance on God by responding to the threat of their enemy with a physical act of worship, instead of focusing on their fears. When they heard the prophetic word, they bowed their heads in reverence as they worshiped and praised God. Their praise was so powerful that a burst of jubilee erupted in the atmosphere as the selected singers echoed joyful sounds of victory and praise. My beloved friends, note what happened when the people of Judah began to sing and praise the Lord. God intervened, causing the enemy to turn against each other in a confused, self-destructive battle. This is a powerful reminder that we overcome by faith in God's power, not by fearing our enemies. Life can be challenging, but praising God makes all the difference.       If we are dete...

Called to Serve

Good morning Scripture: Matthew 10:1-20 Hymn: Just as I am  Meditation:      Jesus Christ selected ordinary persons to serve as his disciples and then he equipped them with power over unclean spirits, to cast them out and to heal all manner of sickness and diseases. Among those whom Jesus chose to be his disciples were tax collectors and fishermen. As Jesus sent forth his disciples to serve, he gave them clear instructions to take the gospel to those who would listen and to the lost sheep. The disciples were told that they would encounter some stubborn, self-willed persons, who would reject the gospel.       The disciples were sent among the vilest of sinners and were advised to use wisdom, be harmless, and focus on their mission. They were also warned about the persecution they would eventually encounter. If you are called to serve, do so with a willing heart, knowing that you are serving a mighty, promise-keeping God. Do not be concerned...

Thou of Little Faith

Good morning Scripture reading: Matthew 14:22-33 Worship Song: Didn't I Walk on The Water   Meditation:      Displaying exceptional faith and courage, Peter stepped onto the water's surface at Jesus's command. But when he saw the fierce wind and boisterous waves, fear conquered his faith, causing him to sink as he took his eyes off Jesus. Like Peter, we often start with unwavering faith but panic and succumb to fear, anxiety, and worry the moment we encounter difficult challenges. Fear will prevail where we fail to acknowledge Jesus' sovereignty and power to overcome the impossible.       The apostles marveled at Jesus' power and sovereignty, but he promised they would one day perform even mightier deeds than his. Beloved, remember the wonder-working power of Christ and trust in His hand. Keep your eyes on Jesus, and do not fear or tremble, for He who calms the sea and quenches the fiery furnace can calm the giants in and around us. Be r...
