Waiting

 How good are you at waiting?  I must confess that I am not all that good at waiting.  The truth is waiting is a hard thing for most of us.  We are a fast food, high speed internet, overnight delivery kind of people.  We think of waiting time as wasted time.  But so often our rush just runs us in circles; we run without true purpose or direction and we soon find that our strength alone is not enough.  God has a different view of waiting.  Waiting is a time we tune our spirit into God’s Spirit.  Waiting time is a time we reflect on Christ’s love and listen to His still small voice in our hearts.  Waiting time is a time that God molds and makes us.  Like a tree growing steadily from sunlight and soil as its roots dig deeper and its trunk grows stronger, waiting on God is one of the true secrets of life and a source of true strength.  Discover the true source of life!
 
(verse of the week)
“They that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” (Isaiah 40.31)
 
(Prayer of the week)
Almighty and Loving God, thank you for your great love that reaches out to us and forgives us and gives us new life and hope for tomorrow.  Help me to learn to wait on you as a source of strength and love.  Open my heart and mind to trust in your plan and purpose for my life.  Open my life to your power that touches and transforms life.  May your gifts of love, hope, peace, and joy grow within me as I draw my strength from you.   And let your love burn within me that others may see you in all I do.   Amen.
 
Wishing you a great week! –Pastor TJ
 
(quote of the week)
There is no greater power in the universe than prayer.  Prayer can change the world, because prayer puts us in touch with the One who made the world. . .
