Waiting involves remaining in place or postponing action until a particular event occurs. I recall a story about two individuals waiting for a bus one morning. Upon arrival, one person checked his schedule, sat down, and began reading. The other frequently checked his watch, became increasingly frustrated, and paced back and forth, expressing dissatisfaction with…
“My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.” (KJV 1 John 3:18.) It is true that what the world needs is love. However, the longer we live, the more we see that people are more concerned with getting for me, my, and mine. Those who live with…
“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9. ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How…
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28.

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 Waiting is never easy. As my mom used to say, “A watched pot never boils.” The more we focus on…

“For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” Psalms 30:5 Sometimes, having a good cry really helps us. People often see crying, especially for men, as a sign of weakness. We’ve all heard the phrase “crying like a baby,” but tears…
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;” 2 Corinthians 10:4. I love watching a good wrestling or boxing match.
