Dear Friends,
In today’s instant gratification world, it’s difficult for us to wait on anything. We want results and we want them NOW! But, as we often read, God’s ways and His sense of time is quite different than ours. Patience is what is often preached and required of us. The trick is to keep on keeping on while we wait. I know that seems contradictory, but as my mentor Dr. Vick use to say, “all good things come to him who waits, if he works like heck while he waits!”. So, be patient with God, yourself and those around you. God is also working in their lives. In time and in His time, all will be revealed and made known to you. Be blessed! See you tomorrow! Peace and Love, Scott

Waiting On Me means directing your attention to Me in hopeful anticipation of what I will do. It entails trusting Me with every fiber of your being, instead of trying to figure things out yourself. Waiting on Me is the way I designed you to live, all day, every day. I created you to stay conscious of Me as you go about your daily duties.
I have promised many blessings to those who wait on Me: renewed strength, living about one’s circumstances, resurgence of hope, awareness of My continual Presence. Waiting on Me enables you to glorify Me by living in deep dependence on Me, ready to do My will. It also helps you to enjoy Me; in My Presence is fullness of Joy.
Lamentations 3:25-26 25 The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; 26 it is good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.
Isaiah 40:31 31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Psalm 16:11 11 You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.
