Evening: Don't Forget God's Faithfulness

For all those fasting, we have just about made it through the day. As I approach the end of a day of fasting, I find myself increasingly aware of, and dependent upon God. With my last post of the day, we reach the fourth and final instruction from Pastor Meeks about what we should (or should not) be doing while waiting.

4. Don't Forget God's Faithfulness

Psalm 103:1-3

Praise the Lord, O my soul;
    all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
Praise the Lord, O my soul,
    and forget not all his benefits—
who forgives all your sins
    and heals all your diseases

Meeks tells us that, "Waiting is not just something we have to do until we get what we want. Waiting is part of the process of becoming what God wants us to be."

His statement kind of reminds me of the old Army recruiting ad that contained a jingle that went something like "Be all that you can be...in the army."

Remember that we are not waiting on God to heal Adam. He is waiting on us. He is waiting for us to be all that we can be in His army. In the meantime, God is building our faith. The title of the song, While I'm waiting, by John Waller is a bit misleading. It implies that we are waiting on God. Yet, as you listen to the words, Waller describes all the activities that God is waiting for us to perform before He helps get over the hurdle. It seems the title of the song should be While God's Waiting.



Pray:

• For Adam's FULL RECOVERY!
• That Adam's healing would lead others to Christ
• That Adam and Amy would eventually speak to many people about Adam's accident, his healing, and their faith

Remember that a 'delayed' full recovery is not a 'denied' full recovery. A "Not yet" is not "No."

Thank you for praying with us, today. Keep on praying for Adam's recovery until Amy tells us to move on to praying for their ministry.

2 Thessalonians 3:3

But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.

Amen.
