Waiting Upon the Lord

WAITING UPON THE LORD

      We are promised in scripture that if we will wait upon the Lord He will renew our strength
Learning to be still and know that He is God is where the power comes from to go the length
Being patient in prayer is where we hear His still small voice to guide us along the way
Reading His word is how we understand His will and learn to know what He wants to say.

Waiting upon the Lord is how our faith and trust in Him grows as we learn how to persevere
During this time we learn His promise is true we are never alone He is always with us here
It is the process by which He changes His children and transforms us into being like His Son
This is how we mature and grow strong in Him and learn how to conquer and overcome.

We all face challenging seasons of testing during which time God seems distant and silent
Will we give up or choose to endure, seeking Him in faith as we learn to wait and be patient 
 This is the time where God grows our faith and trust the most and our character is made new
When we come out the other side people will see a little more of Jesus and a little less of you.

Hi Randy.I love your words that are so full of understanding ,and Faith. So many people can't see that God stands back so that we can learn and grow to be like Him.I share your beliefs and know that everything that we are allowed to go through is out of love.Much like any wise loving parent does for their child so that they can hopefully learn from their mistakes and grow to be the best that they can be.Thank you for sharing this Love June(Sylvia)
