PATIENCE

We may be in a period of our life where we can compare ourselves to a desert but there is no reason to despair for God can make all things new. We should never doubt the power of God to be able to do and carry out what He has planned in our lives. As in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know well the plans I have in mind for you, says the LORD, plans for your welfare, not for woe! plans to give you a future full of hope." Amen. Hallelujah!



Isaiah 35:1-6a, 10
1 The desert and the parched land will exult; the steppe will rejoice and bloom. 2 They will bloom with abundant flowers, and rejoice with joyful song. The glory of Lebanon will be given to them, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon; they will see the glory of the LORD, the splendor of our God.

We can always count on God to make things turn out for the best. Let us not be dismayed or discouraged by our circumstances for He will surely fulfill what He has promised. Amen. Hallelujah!


Psalm 146:6-7, 8-9, 9-10
R: Lord, come and save us.
6 The LORD keeps faith forever, 7 secures justice for the oppressed, gives food to the hungry. The LORD sets captives free. (R) 8 The LORD gives sight to the blind. The LORD raises up those that were bowed down; the LORD loves the just. 9 The LORD protects strangers. (R) The fatherless and the widow he sustains,

The key is patience. There is a need for all of us to keep faith and persevere no matter what our situations are. Let us not lose sight of the good things that God has in store for those who love Him. Amen. Hallelujah!


James 5:7-10
7 Be patient, brothers and sisters, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient with it until it receives the early and the late rains. 8 You too must be patient. Make your hearts firm, because the coming of the Lord is at hand. 9 Do not complain, brothers, about one another, that you may not be judged. Behold, the Judge is standing before the gates. 10 Take as an example of hardship and patience, brothers, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.


We may need to look back and recall the things that God has done in our lives. It is imperative that we always keep them in mind to remind us always that He is God and in control. Amen. Hallelujah!


Matthew 11:2-11
...“Go and tell John what you hear and see: 5 the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news proclaimed to them. 6 And blessed is the one who takes no offense at me.”...
