Waiting

AND THE GREATEST BLESSING IS THE BLESSING AFTER WAITING

Walk by faith

Will I believe you when you say
Your hand will guide my every way
Will I receive the words You say
Every moment of every day

Well I will walk by faith
Even when I cannot see
because this broken road
Prepares Your will for me

Help me to rid my endless fears
You've been so faithful for all my years
With the one breath You make me new
Your grace covers all I do

Well I'm broken- but I still see Your face
Well You've spoken- pouring Your words of grace

Why do we need to walk by faith? Why not run? Because God wants us to enjoy the journey as we get to our destinations...

PEACE AND PATIENCE

THE HARDEST KIND OF WAITING IS WAITING ON GOD WHEN YOU'RE IN A HURRY AND GOD IS NOT!

Devo: PATIENCE

What causes impatience:
Lack of peace: God put patience after peace in the fruit of the Spirit

I am only human
Nobody is perfect
God is in control

We may experience DIVINE delays, IRRITATING people to mold us...

God equates patience with maturity


Acquire a sense of humor: find the fun in the frustrating
Humor is tension dissolver
Laughter is life's shock absorber

IF YOU CAN LAUGH WITH IT, YOU CAN LIVE WITH IT!

Patience is the fruit of the Spirit, not my own...
