The weekend message for the beloved children of God - Wait on the Lord !

Read Jeremiah 29:10-11, For thus saith the Lord, That after seventy years be accomplished at Babylon I will visit you, and perform my good word toward you, in causing you to return to this place. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. We must learn to trust in the Lord and His plan to renew our strength in Him. Read Isaiah 40:31, But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. We must remain steadfast and unmovable in our faith in Him. Paul spoke of remaining steadfast in your faith. Life will throw many temptations, trials and difficulties in the path of all who truly seek to follow the Lord Jesus. Don't move outside of your faith, trust God to bring you thought your trials. There will be times when these temptations and trials may feel overwhelming and maybe even insurmountable. Possibly there will be even times when the thought comes, ‘why me’? Just trust God's word, you will have victory, we are overcomes in Christ Jesus. Nobody is unique in having this experience, for it will be something that all those who diligently seek the Lord Jesus and strive to follow him will go through. Without Christ we are powerless and have no hope. However, if we remain in him then despite our weaknesses, despite our failures, we will ultimately bear fruit, we will produce the works of faith. What really counts is how we respond to these trials and moments of weakness. Read 1 Corinthians 15:58, Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. To remain steadfast and unmovable we have to know the Word of God first and trust His word. The word says, we walk by faith not by sight. To be stedfast and unmoveable is to be spiritually grounded in the word of God. So, let us study the word daily. Read 2 Timothy 2:15, Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Heavenly Father, help us your children to trust your word. Let us learn to wait on you Lord and your timing. Let us lift up our hands and voices unto the Lord and worship Him in spirit and truth. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
