Those That Wait On The Lord


My favorite verse in the Bible is Isaiah 40:31, “they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint”.  What are you waiting on? Are you in a situation that is wearing you down right now? No end in sight?  One thing we can agree on is that Satan is doing his job--WELL!  Waiting is the last thing you wanted to do right now. What you want is to get away from your problems and be left alone. 

       When the children of Israel were taken by the Babylonians to another country, depression and homesickness settled into their psyches.  They get there and their captors tells them when the music play, to bow down to their god. If they didn't, they will be thrown in the fire. You know the story.  The three Hebrew boys Shadrach, Meshack and Abed-nego showed unwavering faith. Despite what the King declared, they did not worship the King’s god.  They were throw into the fire.  The wait outside the area of the fire had to be torcher.  Okay torch-er wasn't a good word but you get the jist.  So much had to go through their minds.  However, God didn't let them down.   When the three Hebrew boys entered the fire, they found Peace waiting there. They had a chat with the Savior and walked out unharmed.  You may not be facing this type of persecution but whatever you are facing right now, know God is in control. Every evil scheme goes through God before it hits you.  You may question where is God in all of this; He is working on your behalf and controlling the situation but allows Satan to carry out his evil against you.  In other words, your circumstance may not change but you will change in your circumstance.  While you’re in your storm, have a chat with the Savior. Allow Him to give you what's best for you.  He is able to prepare a table for you before your enemies.  Now that’s what I’m talking about! Isn't the wait worth it? I wait because good stuff is coming.

Understanding It Better By and By

    Funny how life has a way of showing you what you’re made of.  When adversity hits, what you say you wouldn't do becomes easier to do.  When the rubber meets the road, yes! you do the unthinkable.  Let's say you have a house fire and on the second floor is your baby and mom. You can only save one, which would it be? I've heard many say they would grab the baby since mom has been around a long time. I couldn't say.  I'm not in that situation right now.  There's no way to know what to do until tragedy hits.  Some can handle atrocities, whereas; other have no clue how to maneuver suffering nor know why hardship occurs.  Stop trying to figure out why hardships happens--only the Father knows.  He won't  have you guessing long.      The underlining reason at the end of your trials gives away the mystery. Experiencing hardship isn't fun but you will come out with more insight than ever before....

Get Ready

W hen the Children of God came to the Red Sea, no doubt their motivation levels were very low. They had Pharaoh and his army behind them, mountains on the sides of them and the Red Sea ahead of them.  There seemed to be no way out of this saga.  A movie where the villain has the good person cornered.  You wonder how they were going to get out of it. God's people waited 450 years to be released from Egypt and right at their blessing (crossing the Red Sea), the God's Children cries out to Moses, "Because there were no graves in Egypt, has thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? Wherefore has thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than we should die in the wilderness."  Moses answers the people by saying, "Fear ye not, stand still and see the salvation ...
