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: Don't Be Discouraged, God Is On Your Side

Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
2 Corinthians 4:16

Perhaps you are going through a difficult situation that is causing discouragement. But hold firm, because God renews you day by day, and the future glory will be so wonderful that it will make all your problems feel insignificant in proportion!

Praising and glorifying God every day also helps us shift our focus away from our problems and ourselves. Make God the target of your life and dedicate yourself to listening to His Word, which brings strength and sustenance daily. Seek Him with all your heart!

Only Jesus, with His sweet voice, can nourish your inner being with joy, hope, and peace.

9 The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,
a stronghold in times of trouble.
10 Those who know your name trust in you,
for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.

Psalms 9:9-10

Those who find strength and encouragement in God, even while going through struggles, will find victory and comfort.

Step into this dimension of love, praise, and worship and see how much stronger and more enthusiastic you'll feel to continue. Don't give up, persevere, and surely you will reap the rewards!

Day Before Yesterday's Word

Word of the Day: Let God's grace transform your life

Grace means undeserved favor. We do not deserve God's kindness, because we all have sinned, but still, He loves us and wants the best for us! That's grace. By His grace, God sent Jesus to save us and give us a blessed life, free from sin. And all we have to do is accept this gift, given freely.

8 For it is by grace you have been saved,through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

Ephesians 2:8-9

Do you want to see God's grace in your life? Then open your heart today and accept the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. He gave His life on the cross for you out of love and wants you to acknowledge your need for His love and forgiveness. With Him in your life, you will have peace with God for all eternity.

If you already have Christ in your heart, decide to share His gift of grace with everyone around you. Carry God's Love wherever you go. Help the needy, bring joy to the suffering, share what God has given you. Let others see how God's grace has transformed you and live for His glory.
