Wonderful Wednesday

Posted on by

Psalm 27:13-14 I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord ; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord .

In a world of “gotta have it now” waiting for things to happen is difficult. We want immediate gratification. Waiting can almost be tortuous. It has gotten to a point if I text someone and they take 5 minutes to respond, I’ve made up in my mind at least 5 terrible things of why it took so long. That’s only 5 minutes. What happens when we have to wait for a breakthrough and its been 24 hours or 1 week or 1 year? If you’re like me, it can feel like an eternity.

We’re constantly told that our sufferings, our trials and tribulations are strengthening us. It builds up our faith in Jesus Christ. It allows us to experience the wonderful miracle making God. If we stay faithful and do right we will inherit the kingdom. Our suffering will be awarded in heaven. But if you’re like me, I want a piece of heaven on earth. I refuse to believe that after I have endured setbacks, disappointments, heartbreak and death, that I have to wait to see the glory of God after my death.

Today’s scripture answered my question. We will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. That means we will be rewarded on earth as it is in heaven. The key is patience. We have to be patient and wait on the Lord. Don’t take matters into your own hands. Wait on the Lord. Don’t grieve like you have no hope, wait on the Lord. He will never leave you or forsake you. Praise him. Pray with petition. Then wait. Patience is a virtue.

Be great today!

Love you with the love of Christ,

Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. Ephesians 4:15

I found that the last year of my life has been filled with the most trials and tribulations that challenged me as a Christian. I experienced the type of pain that I did not discuss with anyone. I kept the intimate details of my emotional state to myself which in turn caused my hair to fall out, made my stomach to hurt, have headaches and grind my teeth to a point of where I had to wear a bite guard. I then started to really read other people’s post on Facebook. I noticed a trend. I was not alone.

I decided to gather people together just so I could research how people deal with their issues. Some turned to church heavily. Some got involved in activities that would refocus their thoughts elsewhere. Some self-medicated with food, drinks or people. No matter how they got through their issues, the common theme was not talking to other people with similar struggles.

I decided to stop the cycle. I decided to talk about the trials I am experiencing and have experienced. I want to share in love so I can hopefully let others know, who may be experiencing something similar, we can be overcomers and be victorious!

I hope my blog helps you through your life journey. Enjoy Where I Enter.
