I’M NOT WAITING!

 “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” (Revelation 1:4 NKJV) I will wait on the Lord and be of good courage in this life. I know I am not yet what I should be, and neither am I what I used to be, but I will wait until my change comes. I will wait for...

IT’S BEEN A LONG TIME…

“And they brought the boy to Him. When he saw Him, the spirit immediately threw him into convulsions, and falling to the ground, he began rolling around and foaming at the mouth. And He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood.” (Mark 9:20-21 NASB) The purpose of today’s meditation is to equip you with a response to someone who...

THE WAIT & THE WHEREVER

“Let your conversation be gracious as well as sensible…” (Colossians 4:6a The Living Bible) The happening that I’m about to tell you took place in one of those “malls” that was once a large store, but now the property owner rents out booths to small merchandisers. A father is with his son who had to be between 3-4-years old. A lady at the meat counter seemed set on buying a little of...

IN BETWEEN THE “WAIT” AND “THE RENEWAL,” “THE MOUNTING UP,” AND “THE RUNNING”

“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) What should you do while you are waiting for the described changes in the divine word of God, found in the opening verse? Yes, you may be waiting for a situation to get better, waiting for the Lord to...

IN THE WAITING ROOM

“Yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.” (Isaiah 40:31 NASB) Once upon a time, decades ago, there stood a little white building on the corner of a one-way street.  This edifice was a block west of the famous Indiana Avenue, and a block northeast of a building...

“WAIT AND BETTER WILL SHOW UP”

“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 KJV) Twice during the same week I visited a physician.  As you know, the first things that take place at a visit is being weighed, having your temperature taken, and your assigned nurse gets a blood...

SOMETIMES WE MOVE TOO FAST

“But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles.  They will run and not grow weary.  They will walk and not faint. "Isaiah 40:31 NLT) I’m not sure if I told you this true story or not.  If I have, there is nothing wrong with a little repetition.  Afterall, Jesus uses repetitiveness in His teachings.  The true story: At the end of...

THE WAIT

“Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; for You I wait- all-the day.” (Psalm 25:5 NASB) As you have noticed, lately the daily meditations have been characterized by brevity.  That’s not because of the holiday season.  And it is not because of a decline in my faithfulness.  I do strive to minister to many, and in doing so, the Lord speaks to...

SALVAGED!

“The Lord is good to those who wait for Him.” (Lamentations 3:25a NKJV) Have you ever been to a salvage store?  My oldest son and his daughter told me about a good one on line; a local store where you can buy new furnishings and décor, still in the box; items that were not returned to the original supplier.  I have purchased dining room chairs, clocks, and other great finds. ...
