A Pastor in The Northwest

I've said it before, and it bears repeating...waiting on the Lord is not an easy ride or simple virtue. No, i t is work!   It is frustrating at times.   It is yielding and surrender, which, for most of us, is challenging to say the least.   Yet, that is the call for all who choose to follow Messiah Jesus.  In fact, His call is STILL for people, by faith, to follow Him.  Where He goes, we're to follow Him.  He's the shot-caller.  He's the Lord and the authority. Ugh - easier said than done.   Yet, we can look at the example of people like Noah who had to wait many, many years for God to work and, when God's plan began to be revealed, Noah had to wait even longer for fulfillment - even spending a lot of time on the ocean in a smelly, creaky boat full of filthy animals! God, empower us to wait on You to renew our strength and bring Your will to fulfillment both now and not yet. Photo by Zoltan Tasi on Unsplash
