We wait at red lights, check-out lines, doctor's offices; we wait for the mail, for a phone call--and for dinner! The "little stuff!" Sometimes it's "big stuff"--I've spent a good deal of my life waiting for important things--marriage, children, a home--hey, I even remember waiting for a washer and a dryer the first year of my marriage! You can tell the same tales, I'm sure!
This week I am "waiting, watching and praying" for a young man participating in the National Teen Bible Quiz finals, sponsored by the Assemblies of God, being held in Lafayette, Indiana. Now fortunately, there's a Web site and I can watch too--more than that, I can pray for my son Joey and all the other teens, 40 teams in all, doing their best to prove their skills in friendly competition, as they face intense rivalry for top rankings, enjoy alot of fun and friendship, and hide God's Word in their hearts.
I'm NOT hiding my pride in the accomplishments of my own son, and all the others! It's quite a remarkable feat to memorize whole books of the Bible. And of course, I'd like my son to return home with a trophy. But more importantly, I want the Word of God he's memorized to be lived out in his life, day by day--as it travels from the brain to the heart. For God's Word is NOT learned in vain. Pray for all these kids as they do their best--and you can wait, watch and pray with MOM too...grin!
Are you waiting, watching and praying for something today? Faint not, fret not, forget not "all His benefits" - He is a faithful God and will be faithful to all of us, whatever we stand in need of this day. Believe it--and have a great day!
Delight in a Word from the Well--a refreshing in the Water of His Word
"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint (Isaiah 40:31)."
Draw from the Well--a prayer for renewing strength for this day
"Lord, seems like I spend most of my life waiting, watching and praying for the many needs, big and small, in my life. Help me to know that I am growing strong in You and Your Word, as I wait for answers to my prayers. May I never give up but looking solely to You for the strength, courage and determination I need in the "waiting room" of life! In Jesus' Name, Amen."
