Wait on God

We have promises that have not come to pass yet in our lives. The ultimate promise is of the return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Why do we find it so hard to wait on God?  The bible is full of His promises toward us, for  the believer and the non believer.  He says that He rains on the just and the unjust.
We live in a society of quick fixes, schemes, and manipulation. Everybody has a way to help you get what you want or get to where you want to go. Have you noticed that the world takes from the Bible and uses schemes that only leave you broken. Be careful who and what you put your trust in. We have faith in man, machines, stock markets, bank accounts, retirement plans, get rich quick schemes more than we do God. A main scheme out now is the healthy life style schemes. It is already written in the Word of God how to keep yourself healthy. Have you read about it? Some of these tools are valuable ways to earn an income and provide for your future while we are here on earth, but they are fallible. These things can leave you in debt, sick, torn, and separated from God. God's promises are sure. They are written in His word. His way is right, just, and unchangeable. You will always get the  positive results that you are looking for following His plan. You just have to have faith and wait on Him. 



Psalms 27:13, 14 (King James Version)
13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living
14 Wait on the Lord, be of good courage and he shall strengthen thine heart, wait I say on the 
     Lord.

2 Corinthians 1:20 (King James Version)
For all the promises of God in Him are yea, and in Him, Amen unto the glory of God by us.

You will never know what your gift is until you...... OPEN THE BOX

What is your gift? What does God want you to do? What is your  purpose here on earth? These are some of the questions that plague many people in the church today. Some feel that they have come into this world to live, pay bills then die. They feel that life has no purpose or reason for being.  They feel that they don't have a gift. Most Christians have become complacent and unhappy in their Christian walk because they feel there is nothing for them to do. They feel like all the positions are taken and that their is too many people doing  it and that's enough.  Jesus said in John 10:10( KJV)" The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."  He will make your life successful. Their is more to this life than living then dying. There is more . You will never know what your gift is until you OPEN THE BOX.



Mark 14:3-9  King James Version (KJV)

 3While He was in Bethany at the home of Simon the leper, and reclining at the table,there came a woman with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume of pure nard; and she broke the vial and poured it over His head. 4But some were indignantly remarking to one another, “Why has this perfume been wasted? 5“For this perfume might have been sold for over three hundred denarii, and the money given to the poor.” And they were scolding her. 6But Jesus said, “Let her alone; why do you bother her? She has done a good deed to Me. 7“For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish you can do good to them; but you do not always have Me. 8“She has done what she could; she has anointed My body beforehand for the burial. 9“Truly I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her.”
