“Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!” – Psalm 27:14
Do you feel like you’ve been waiting forever for God to act? Consider Noah, who faced nearly 100 years of ridicule before the floods finally came. Moses spent 40 long years in the wilderness, yet it was there that God spoke to him. David hid for 15 years, fighting for his life, before he was granted victory. Joseph endured a decade in a cold dungeon before his rightful vindication arrived. Remember, God’s timing is best; trust in Him, and your waiting will not be in vain. Amen!
“not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.” -Hebrews 10:25
Despite the flaws in every church, our participation is essential. Being part of a local assembly under the spiritual guidance of a pastor-teacher helps us grow and serve others. Fellowship enables us to use our gifts for the mutual benefit and encouragement of one another. Let us humbly seek fellowship with fellow believers in a balanced, though not perfect, church, knowing that our involvement is significant.
“Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” -1 Corinthians 4:2
It is concerning to see how many people place exaggerated importance on acquiring material success, and the brutal competition that accompanies it is equally frightening. No material success is worth celebrating if it comes at the expense of others or leads to their destruction. Therefore, God calls us to be faithful rather than simply “successful.” True success is not measured by material wealth but by how faithful we are to God with our time, talents, and the little treasures we may possess.
“For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.” – Matthew 24:2
During an epidemic, dubious drug sellers often emerge, seeking to exploit the vulnerable. Likewise, there is no shortage of charlatans capitalizing on people’s misfortune and claiming to provide a quick fix for all of life’s problems. Even Jesus does not guarantee total relief from human suffering in this fallen world. Please be cautious and ensure that no one takes advantage of your temporary difficulties to scam you.
“I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living.” –Psalm 27:13
In an age of short attention spans, patience does not come naturally to many people; we need to learn it if we want to walk with the sovereign God. The Lord may not respond to our impulses, but He remains faithful and comes through for us at the right time. Remember, no tears we shed, no pain we endure in waiting for YHWH will be in vain. Thus, do not give up, not today, not ever in the mighty name of Yeshuah Hamashiac!
