There's a real revival going on among college students at Asbury College in Kentucky. The same is happening at the University of Georgia, Texas Tech and Iowa State College. Pray for them; the students are rejecting the "woke" curriculums and seeking God.
We now have a "Donation Button" on our church website. Donate online. Go to nhcfshowlow.church and follow the simple directions. Thanks.
Do you realize that as of this date, some 56,000 people have died in the Turkey-Syrian earthquake. There were two severe quakes nine hours apart. Many Christians died. Pray.
The new church addition is underway. The building permit is issued, contractors are in place, and the footers are dug with steel set. Concrete has been poured, and the foundation will rise up out of the ground. PTL! Keep praying this project through its completion. Thanks.
Waiting requires some grit. We're anxious, and we want things to happen "now," but that's not the way this world works, and it's also true of God. The singing group Petra modified Psalm 40 to sing: "I waited for the LORD on high; I waited, and He heard my cry" (Ps.40.1-3).
We've been waiting on the Lord for our building project. It seems like an eternity, and especially with all the interference from NavCo., but now the foundation is going into the ground. PTL! Psalm 40 continues: "He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God..." (40.3). In the waiting, there's time for meditation, for thinking through our motives and our desires. There's time to check in with God.
We don't always get what we wait for. I've been praying and waiting on the Lord to heal and restore my friend Mark Clements. Instead, the Lord took him home. I return to the Psalms where I read: "Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth" (46.10). Again, "Make me know Thy ways, O LORD; teach me Thy paths. Lead me in Thy truth and teach me, for Thou art the God of my salvation; for Thee I wait all the day" (Ps.25.4,5).
Waiting is a spiritual discipline. And, yes, it's difficult, but in the time it takes, good things can happen because we move out of the way and give God His rightful place in our lives.
I'm waiting on the Lord. Are you?
