The Waiting Game

The Waiting Game

Waiting is hard. It is never fun to have to wait. Yet the Bible often advises us to Wait upon the Lord. 

So, how am I supposed to WAIT upon the Lord; when I need help? 

(Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; and shall mount up with wings as eagles) 

If you follow the following steps, the Waiting Game will seemingly pass very quickly. Furthermore, these steps will strengthen you mightily while will you wait.

A-Slow your life down; be still;

B-Get yourself alone and quiet; 

C-Pray to God incessantly;

D-Dig very deeply into His Word! 

Place all your expectations in him, and, The Waiting will be Worth it!

Psalms 62:5 My soul, wait thou only upon God; for “my expectation is from him.”

The Greatest Question

The Greatest Question

If God knows everything, as the Bible indicates, then why does God ask questions in the Bible? 

God asks us questions, not because he lacks knowledge; but rather to see if we will respond to him honestly & truthfully with our answers!

Without the personal mutual understanding of the truth, there can be no hope for any resolutions!

When God asks us questions, be assured he already knows the truth! 

So when God asks questions, it is a test to see if we are going to admit and submit to the truth, or if we are going to practice personal falsehood and follow the Father of Lies.

It’s the greatest Question of Life!
