Waiting to Run

/ pastorpete51 / Leave a comment

Waiting for God is not like waiting for the train. It is no more passive than Usain Bolt waiting to begin a race. It is a race he has prepared for mentally, physically and emotionally. In the silence of the breathe before the starter’s gun there is a waiting power. All the passion to run the steps that lead to the finish line fill his heart as he waits knowing that victory lies ahead. How much more should we as children who run toward heaven’s finish line wait with joy to run our race.

Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.
Psalms 19:5 NKJV

Just Wait a Minute!

“If you can wait and not be tired by waiting” Rudyard Kipling

Wait for the Lord; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord!         Psalm 27:14

Not long ago I had eye surgery and contrary to my expectations the first three days of recovery were extremely painful. It was a pain deeper than the surface and there was no where to go to get away from it. Everything was normal about the procedure but I just had to wait. I hate to wait; but I have discovered that the only thing worse than waiting on God, is not waiting on God! What are you waiting for that only God can heal tonight? Abide in Him and He will bring it to pass!

Sing a New Song

/ pastorpete51 / 2 Comments

I have always loved listening to my wife sing. Though she has a beautiful voice of her own, her greatest talent is in the ability to sing a perfect harmony that makes both her voice and the other person’s sound amazing. KIMG1356

Singing isn’t just a nice idea or something sweet to do with our children. Singing is something that God has designed for us to do forever. Jesus sang with his disciples and when we sing a new song he listens and joins in with such perfect harmony that the song takes on an eternal beauty.

So when God says sing a new song think of it as an invitation to share the newest melodies of your life. Some of the verses may be sad or even a bit out off key; but He is listening and waiting to hear us so he can join his voice with ours. Together with Him we will then sing the very best new song of all!
