Today's Word
Wait on the Lord with strength & Courage!
Wait for the Lord. Be strong! Take heart! Wait for the Lord.
-- Psalms 27:14
Patience. It's so easy to talk about it, yet so hard to practice. In the world we live in, everything is so fast-paced and instantaneous that patience has become increasingly rare.
When God asks us to be patient and wait, we need to remember that it will only work if we truly trust Him to handle any situation.
But we also need to be strong and courageous! Waiting doesn't mean burying our heads in the sand. It means we can face any situation knowing that God is in control.
In the bible, there are several inspiring examples of people who had to wait to receive the blessing that was offered to them. One example is Abraham and Sarah, who, having been promised by God that they would be the ancestors of a great nation started to have doubts.
They both remained strong in their faith and courageous in their patience. Paul uses their patience as an example in his letter to The Hebrews when reassuring the church that they can be confident in all that God has promised them.
13 When God made his promise to Abraham, since there was no one greater for him to swear by, he swore by himself, 14 saying, “I will surely bless you and give you many descendants.” 15 And so after waiting patiently, Abraham received what was promised.
Hebrews 6: 13-15
We wait patiently for God to act because we can have the same certainty in his promises.

Word of the Day: Tired? Overloaded? Receive rest today
There's nothing wrong in admitting that you're exhausted, without strength. Jesus doesn't reject those who are feeling weak. In fact, He invites you to come to Him in weakness and receive the rest you need. And the rest Jesus offers is perfect.
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
Matthew 11:28
In the presence of God, you can remove the burden that weighs you down. You can be intimate and honest about your feelings because He will listen to you, He loves you and wants to take care of you.
Feeling like you can't take it anymore? Meditate on the following verses and thank God for the rest He offers you.
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7
Tell God what burdens your soul and remember that He does not abandon you. He always takes care of you.
Truly my soul finds rest in God;
my salvation comes from him.Psalm 62:1
Though at face value it may seem like there's no solution, remember that God is greater than any problem or situation. He knows how to solve what happens; you can have hope and rest in Him.
You will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are steadfast,
because they trust in you.Isaiah 26:3
Keep your thoughts focused on God, on His love for you, and His power. There's no problem greater than God. Trust in Him because, in due time, He will act.
Day Before Yesterday's Word
Word of the day: God has a surprise prepared for you!
The Bible says that God likes to give us much more than we ask for... or can even imagine! Every father enjoys surprising the child he loves with good things. How much more will God give good things to His children? God is our Father and takes great pleasure in blessing us.
20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Ephesians 3:20-21
Trust that if you surrender your entire life, will, and future into the hands of the Lord, you will be greatly surprised... He is sovereign, extremely kind, and will lead you to a safe harbor, granting miracles, peace, and victories you never imagined! Just believe with all your heart and depend on Christ, in every moment. God will take care of your life, He has a new story waiting for you...
Let God surprise you! Pray, and tell God what your dreams and plans are. Ask Him to guide you and help you make important decisions in life. Remain steadfast in the presence of the Lord. Keep seeking God and His righteousness, and all other things you need will be added to you. Surely, He has a future of blessings for you!
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11
Let yourself be surprised by God's blessings!
See how God wants to bless you!
