As we lay down our own plans and yield completely to Him day by day, the Scriptures promise that we will receive power from on high to be witnesses "to the end of the earth." - Steve Munsey
Get ready to go to a new level of walking more deeply with Him. Spirit to spirit, deep to deep, and let Him refresh you now with His rain knowing that He who made and formed you will establish you in your destiny and calling! -- Keith Miller
I resolved that I would succeed better this year with filling every minute full of the thought of God than I succeeded last year. - Frank Laubach
A friend grows in favor by embracing a life of obedience, motivated by passion for Him and Him alone. - Bill Johnson
Knowing how He views us in Christ will strengthen the inner man and demolish satan's strongholds. - Mike Bickle
It was not the ministry that made life worthwhile. It was my journey of watching the faithfulness of God all my days. - Corrie ten Boom
If you do not know that life is war, you will not know what prayer is for. In the Christian life, life is war, a spiritual battle that happens to us from the day we are born to the day we die. - John Piper

Wait on me

It is dark

No one is around

Not a single soul or spirit

It is so silent in here

Stillness is everywhere

The hours seem bleak

I can hear nothing

I can see nothing

I can only feel my own heartbeat

I can only smell decay and rottenness

Is death nearby?

Am I going insane?

Am I going to lose it?

Am I a fool?

It is getting so cold

Shivers blanketing me

Hunger torturing me

Thirst scourging me

I feel so weak

I can barely move

My bones are creaking

Yet

His words are holding me

It is still ringing in my ears

He said

Wait on Me

There are wolves and snakes out there

Waiting to devour you

Waiting to destroy you

I will come and deliver you out of this black hole

I will bring you into the light

It is safe here

I promise I will come for you

Wait on me

Trust me

I badly want to leave this black cave

It is becoming unbearable

I can only wait

As He promised

Wait on me

Do you feel like that?

You feel so much suffering going within you and you’re wondering how long this suffering is going to last. You’re stuck in some place not by choice whether it is sickness, or a job, or a cheating partner or so forth and you feel like giving up but you know there is a voice inside there asking you not to give up and wait. You begin to wonder why on earth you have to suffer this way.

There are some words of wisdom from Charles F. Stanley from his book “In Step with God” that I would like to quote here.

Suffering teaches us gratitude.

1 Thess 5:18 “In everything give thanks, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”

Suffering teaches us how to persevere

Don’t pull up stakes when something goes wrong. Be determined to wait for God to make His will be known to you. If you give up, you will never know the potential within your life.

Suffering enables us to share in the sufferings of Jesus Christ.

Remember Paul? He suffered a lot but he was not a spiritual failure. Imagine if you are always healthy and never face a serious challenge or failure all your life, you will never learn how to identify with Jesus Christ’s death on the cross.

Suffering broadens our ministry.

Paul went to prison but as a result of his ministry in prison, the gospel spread throughout Rome.

Remember the story of Job? He never gave up on God and he was blessed more than what he lost.

Job 42:12 “The Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning”.
