Wait On the Lord
Scripture:
But 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. Isaiah 40:31
Saints, today I just want to remind you to hold on to your faith. I know that many of you have been praying for a breakthrough and it still has not manifested. Don't stop praying.
I know that it seems like no matter how hard you try to bring peace into your marriage, your home, on your job into your relationships, strife, anger, resentment, and distrust still exist. Don't give up.
Some of you have been sick or have loved ones who have been sick for a very long time. Some have been struggling financially for a long time and some of you have been fighting against addictions, abuse, and a multitude of other things. Don't give in.
God never said this life would be easy. At least, not in this world. He sometimes uses our situations to strengthen our faith and teach us to learn to depend on him more. Not only for our well being, but so that others who are not saved can see him working in our lives.
So saints of God know this, weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning!
Be Blessed
Prayer:
Father, sometimes it seems like You don't hear our prayers. But we know Lord, that You hear our cries. Father, forgive us for our impatience. Father, we know that even when we aren't faithful to You, You are still faithful to us. Thank You Lord, that You see beyond our weaknesses and bless us anyhow. Lord, teach us patience. Help us to remain prayerful, even when we can't see You working in our lives. Father, we know our breakthroughs are at hand, because You have already given us the victory through Your son, Jesus Christ, in who’s name we pray. Amen.
