.....Waiting.....

{Picture from AllPosters}

"When God asks you to wait, what happens to your spiritual muscles?
While you wait, do your spiritual muscles grow bigger and stronger or do they grow flaccid and atrophied? Waiting for the Lord isn’t about God forgetting you, forsaking you, or being unfaithful to his promises. It’s actually God giving you time to consider his glory and to grow stronger in faith. Remember, waiting isn’t just about what you are hoping for at the end of the wait, but also about what you will become as you wait."

~ Paul Tripp  

From the article Spiritual Muscle Development. I would encourage you to read it!

This was just what I needed to hear today.

 Pastor Voddie Baucham recently gave an excellent sermon on Adoption .  It was a refreshing view that we really appreciated. We would highly recommend it to you!
