Wait

Angus Buchan

Patience is a hard lesson to learn - especially in this day and age of instant. Instant food, instant messages, instant everything. There is so much to be gained in slowing down and talking to each other, reading books and playing board games together. God can use us when we learn to wait. Wait on Him. Rest in Him.

Isaiah 40:31
"But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint."

Empty promises

Hebrews 10:23

A promise is an assurance that one will do something. Hebrews 10:23. The Lord never ever breaks His promise. We as Christians should keep our promises no matter what. We need to be people of integrity and honesty. As Christians, we must keep our word. That is why we need to be careful what we say and think before we speak. God will hold us to our promises.

The Great Commission

Mark 16:15, Colossians 1:27, Matthew 25:40

Jesus gave us The Great Commission to go into all the world and preach the Gospel. Mark 16:15. Maybe you feel like you can't do it but yes you can. Colossians 1:27. It's not about you, it's about Christ in you. Start at home, in your own school or workplace. Matthew 25:40. Whatever you do, do it unto the Lord, you just need to start somewhere, just start small.

Totally dependant

Matthew 5:3, John 3:16, John 14:6

Who or what are you depending on today? Matthew 5:3. We cannot depend on anyone else or anything other than God Himself. If we are depending on anyone else then we are putting more pressure on that person than they can handle. We shouldn't be dependant on ourselves either. We need to be emptied of ourselves. John 3:16. We can do absolutely nothing without God. John 14:6.
