Waiting On Him

“But those who 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 ‭NKJV‬‬

Many times the hardest part is waiting on God. We want to see results quickly but there are times that we have to wait in His timing. His timing is perfect and will yield the maximized results. Sometimes we just need to wait to stop all the noise that’s in our lives and concentrate on Him.

He wants to renew our strength. He want to give us the endurance we need to go through this life in victory and strength.

Important Things

“The beautiful part of worship is that it prepares you and enables you to zero in on the important things that must be done for God .” – A.W. Tozer

When we are worshipping God our focus is solely on Him. He gets all the honor and all the glory. It’s in that place when we get closer to Him and understand what it is that He wants us to do. Many times we are questioning our purpose in life. God gives us purpose all we have to do is to develop our relationship with Him so we can know what the important things are.

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. – James 4:8 (NKJV)

Connecting To Him

“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.” – John‬ ‭15:4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

All the strength that we need to produce fruit comes from God. God should be our source. The great thing is knowing that God is an unlimited source. If we want to bear fruit in our lives then we need to connect to Him. The only way to connect to Him is to continue to develop our relationship with Him. Talk to Him, read His Word, and fellowship with other believers.

Worship Our Maker part 1

“Oh come, let us sing to the Lord ! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. For the Lord is the great God, And the great King above all gods. In His hand are the deep places of the earth; The heights of the hills are His also. The sea is His, for He made it; And His hands formed the dry land. Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.” – Psalms 95:1‭-‬6 NKJV

There are many that question if God is real. They question how everything was created. I know from the bottom of my heart that God created everything. I’ve experience too much of God that not believing in Him is not an option. I’ve experienced His goodness and that is why I’m sharing this today.

Worship is a way that we can express our love to God. We worship Him and there are many reasons to worship Him but right now I want to emphasis that He is the “Rock of our salvation.” We were headed to the lake of fire because of sin but Jesus came to save us. We can now have eternal life in Him if we choose to accept Him as our Lord and Savior and repent.

Just the fact the He is the “Rock of our salvation” should give us something to shout about. We don’t have to worry about how we are going to walk in His salvation. All we have to do is stand on Him who is the the Rock of our salvation. He is the solid foundation we can stand one when adversity comes.

We have so many reasons to worship God. Just the fact that He is the Rock of our salvation should give us motivation to worship Him every day. Jesus paid the price for our sins and we can now have restored relationship with God. That should give us something to shout joyfully about!

Peace

Great peace have those who love Your law, and nothing causes them to stumble. – Psalm 119:165

There is something about the Word of God that brings encouragement and confidence. We start to understand how great God is and how He wants to protect us. We can have peace in His promises for us. It doesn’t matter what comes against us. Nothing will cause us to stumble because we understand that God is greater than anything that we could face.

I pray that whoever reads this would be encouraged to continue to get into the Word of God and allow His peace to enter in.

Power In Him

“Then David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.” – I Samuel‬ ‭17:45‬ ‭NKJV

David had a confidence in the Lord because God had given him the strength before to rescue his sheep from the lion and the bear. Goliath was probably the biggest adversary he had ever faced, but that didn’t matter to David. His focus was on the power of God and knowing that God’s power is greater than any other power. David had a passion for God and would not let Goliath talk down on God trying to diminish His glory.

We face giants in our lives but it will be our connection with God that will allow us to see in the right perspective. Many times we can put our focus so much on the giant that our perspective of God changes. We begin to see the giant as bigger than God. If our connection with God is strong then we will be like David and when that giant comes against us we can come against that giant in His power. It’s through the power of God that our giant will be defeated.

Nothing Compares To What Is Ahead

“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” – Romans‬ ‭8:18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

It doesn’t matter what we go through because nothing that we suffer through in the present will compare to what God will do. This is easier said than done because when we are in the midst of suffering sometimes we don’t think it is going to end. We have to hang on to God’s promise that the glory that will be revealed in us is greater than what we are going through right now. Stand firm on His Word and let His Word strengthen you in everything.

What He Says About Us Is What Matters

“So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” – Isaiah 55:11 NKJV

We are so easy to believe what society says we should be. We will start to believe if we look a certain way then we are not accepted. We will start to think if we don’t have certain things then we are not accepted. What society says about us will change and not last.

On the other hand, what God says about us is what will stand. His words will come to pass. His word is everlasting. It is time for us to find out what God says about us and start believing it. Prayerfully study God’s word and seek Him to see what He says about you.

Cast Our Cares On Him

“Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.”

1 Peter 5:7 (NLT)

We have someone we can turn to when worry wants to take over. God wants us to cast all our worries and cares over to Him. Many times we think of God just as a judge who is ready to let us know everything we do wrong. God is compassionate and wants to take care of us. He cares for us.
