Waiting
I’m not very disciplined when it comes to waiting.
It’s a reality that is reflected in many areas of my life.
For example, I’d rather spend a bit more and get it today than save a bit and wait a few days for shipping.
We’ve come to a critical point as a church family where we are forced to wait upon God.
Stockton has been severely hit by the housing slump and economic recession.
This (and other reasons I’m forcing myself not to mention) has created a financial hardship for the church.
We announced yesterday that because of these realities it appears that we will need to begin downsizing our staff.
We’re in a position now were it seems we must make some hard decisions in the next 30 days.
Today, I’m resonating with the words of Psalm 130:
I wait for the LORD to help me, and I trust his word.
Lord, I am in great trouble, so I call out to you.
Lord, hear my voice; listen to my prayer for help.
Lord, if you punished people for all their sins,
no one would be left, Lord.
But you forgive us, so you are respected.
I wait for the LORD to help me, and I trust his word.
I wait for the Lord to help me
more than night watchmen wait for the dawn,
more than night watchmen wait for the dawn.
Today, I’m waiting and wanting more and more and more faith.
You are very much in my prayers, brother. Let me know what we can do.
Yikes! That is definitely something to keep in prayer.
i will add my voice; i will be praying for you and yours, as well.
You and all that you care about will be in my prayers.
