Process

Okay, I admit it…I hate to wait. I hate to wait in the car for family members (I dare not mention names) who will be out in “just a minute.” I hate to wait in the mall for family members (I dare not mention names) who say, “It will take just a second” to go into a certain store and check on a certain item. I hate waiting for everyone to show up so a meeting can start…and sometimes I hate waiting until the meeting is over. It’s not that I don’t like people or family members…on the contrary…it’s just that I hate to wait. And…I admit it…I hate waiting on God.

The Spirit can and will overpower the sinful nature every time. Part of the growth process involves God allowing me to learn dependence upon his Spirit or caving to my own sinful desires.

Fasting is an opportunity to focus on God.

God loves us enough to restore us.

Being real with God and ourselves is the first step in a life of spiritual transformation.

When God opens our mouths with His message, we cannot be silent. We must share the truth God gives us so that people will know that He alone is the LORD.

The psalmist says, “When I am afraid, I put my trust in you . . . in God I trust and am not afraid.” Turn your fear over to God. He is more than capable to turn your “Pole of Fear” into a pathway of faith.

Keep talking to Him . . . even with your questions. Keep trusting Him . . . even in your doubts. He loves you! He cares for you! You can trust Him!
