Wait I Say, On The Lord

By

Good morning

Scripture reading: James 5:7-11

Worship song: I Will Wait For You

 


Meditation:

    Patience is a virtue cultivated over time through waiting for a promise to be fulfilled. However, not all individuals possess the gift of patience. Farmers understand patience, understanding firsthand that a harvest cannot be rushed. They rely mostly on timely seasonal rains and divine favor, as they patiently wait for their crops to reach maturity for harvest. 

    After sowing the seed, the farmer must endure a period of quiet anticipation, a season of growth during which the crops develop to produce fruit. In the same manner, empowered by the Holy Spirit, believers in Christ, are called to wait patiently upon God's timing, exercising endurance much like a diligent farmer. 

    For believers, a season of waiting signifies a time of expectation during which we anchor our hearts in God's promises. We nourish our souls with prayer, feast on the Word of God, and remain steadfast in faith. We are assured daily to rest in the Lord's divine promises to wait patiently for him, and not to become weary in our endeavors, for in due season we shall reap our reward, provided we do not quit. Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart.

Let us pray:

    Almighty God, with confidence we approach Your mercy seat boldly, knowing, O God, that You search the heart. We are grateful for the Holy Spirit and Your Son, Jesus Christ, who intercedes for the saints according to Your will. With heartfelt gratitude, we praise You for Your faithfulness, trusting in Your promises, and seeking Your guidance and direction, as we remain steadfast in faith. We thank You for endowing us with the spirit of endurance to wait patiently on You, Lord. As the farmers waited on their crops to yield their harvest may we, O Lord, exercise the same patience in our spiritual well-being. Father, stretch forth Your righteous right hand towards those whose hopes are fading and grant them the gift of patience to wait without becoming weary or discouraged. In the precious name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen. 

Wishing you strength to carry on. 💪💕🙏

The Restorer of the Broken

Good morning. Scripture reading: 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Worship song: Make Me Whole   Meditation:      Our society is equipped with a vast number of skilled professionals and technicians who provide specialized services in various areas. For example, plumbers are called upon for issues related to piping systems, electricians diagnose and repair electrical problems, auto mechanics perform vehicle maintenance and tests, and physicians attend to our medical and diagnostic needs. Not everyone needs these services, but we are all in need of divine intervention to maintain our physical, mental, and spiritual health.       We all need a Savior who provides the only way to be made right with a holy God, to receive forgiveness, and to have a life of true purpose. Due to our inherent sinful nature and desires, we constantly breach the fundamental principles and standards set by God. We are all sinners in need of God's grace. We need God's mercy...

Whosoever Believeth

Good morning Scripture reading: St. John 3:14-18 Worship song: I'm Amazed   Meditation:      Driven by a quest for truth Nicodemus approached Jesus seeking answers and clarity. Jesus, in a profound manner,   explained to Nicodemus that one must undergo a spiritual renewal to become part of God's family. Jesus illustrated this point by referring to the bronze serpent in the wilderness as recorded in Numbers 21, where the Israelites were physically dying from poisonous snake bites, and could only survive by fixing their eyes on the raised bronze serpent. Jesus used this example to expound that He must be lifted on the cross to save humanity from the deadly venom of sin.       His teachings in verses 15 and 16 emphasize three essential truths for salvation that should not be overlooked; God’s limitless love, Christ's sacrificial offering, and the promise of eternal life. Salvation is not earned through good deeds, religious status, or hu...

Not Satisfied With The Husk.

 Good morning Scripture reading: St. Luke 15:11-32 Worship Song: Satisfied Meditation:       The prodigal son, driven and blinded by his desire for freedom, ultimately faced the harsh truth of his situation, living a life contrary to what he truly valued. Like many of us, he embarked on what he thought was a pursuit of the best life, but later discovered that a life lived without Jesus Christ is heavily laden with sin and emptiness.       Too often, we find ourselves comfortable in our struggles, settling for the husk of our poor choices rather than embracing the divine, grand cuisine the Lord has prepared for us. How much longer will you remain unaware that the Father stands ready to welcome you home? God values you more than any earthly achievements or material gain. A life of genuine meaning and purpose is ultimately found in Christ. There is immense joy in heaven whenever someone decides to leave a life of sin behind.     ...

The Faith Test

Good morning Scripture reading: Hebrews 11 Worship song: Give Me Faith   Meditation:      Our faith is tested more frequently than we often realize. Every day, we move forward with hope, stepping into an uncertain future with high expectations, yet we seldom know how our efforts will unfold.       When confronted with a decree forbidding prayer, Daniel persisted in trusting God openly and he was subsequently delivered from a den of hungry lions. David courageously faced the Philistine giant, Goliath, not knowing whether he would defeat him or what the outcome would be; however, with unwavering faith, he confronted him and secured victory for Israel. By faith, Noah obediently constructed a large ark to save his family, despite having never witnessed rainfall. Exercising faith, Rahab received the three spies into her home and hid them safely, disregarding her personal safety.       Hebrews 11 reminds us that faith is th...
