Wait For Him

Today I am having a meeting in Pennsylvania that could be the fulfillment of a ministry dream and the rebirth of a vision that was placed in the heart of William Raws many years ago.

As a Board and ministry team we have been waiting on God for a number of years for the fulfillment of this dream. It has been at times frustrating and discouraging because we get so close and then the door closes.

Recently the Lord seemed to be opening a door, and yet today, it could very well be that He will reveal something completely different. That is why these verses today were so timely for me:

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for He is faithful that promised. – Hebrews 10:23

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:11

The One who called you is completely dependable! If he said it, he’ll do it! 1 Thessalonians 5:24 (The Message)

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits, and in His word I do hope. Psalm 130:5

Each morning you listen to my prayer, as I bring my requests to you and wait for your reply. Psalm 5:3

He will fulfill the desire of them that fear Him; he will also hear their cry, and will save them. Psalm 145:19

Then you will know that I am the Lord. You won’t be disappointed if you trust Me! Isaiah 49:23

Are you waiting on the Lord for something in your life? If so, don’t try and rush Him. Maybe today will be the fulfillment of your dream. Maybe today will be the answer to your prayer of many years. If not – then continue to wait on Him. You won’t be disappointed. – Bill Welte is President & CEO of America’s Keswick

Team YOU: Psalm 110-112; Proverbs 22; 1 Corinthians 5

Motivations: When we come to faith and grow in Christlikeness, the Lord pours more light into our lives and illuminates our circumstances. He does this to call us to partnership with him in transforming his creation. It is a call to thoughtfully and intentionally participate in Kingdom building. While he need not count on us, he delights to do so. We do this in loving response to all he has done for us, as a response to his grace. When we partner with him, we achieve great things for the sake of his Kingdom and the glory due his name. Jonathan S. Raymond

Practice to Remember: Level 1:Philippians 3:12; Level 2: Philippians 3:12-16

Powered Up:  Praying gives sense, brings wisdom, broadens and strengthens the mind. The closet is a perfect school-teacher and schoolhouse for the preacher.

Thought is not only brightened and clarified in prayer, but thought is born in prayer. We can learn more in an hour praying, when praying indeed, than from many hours in the study. Books are in the closet which can be found and read nowhere else. Revelations are made in the closet which are made nowhere else. (E. M.) Bounds
