God wrapped His Son in human flesh, signed his name in heaven and earth, and sealed the deal with Mary and Joseph to deliver him to the world to be our Savior. What an awesome Christmas deal that is ours for the asking: God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit!
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” Isaiah 9:6 (KJV)
In this Edition, Elder Jerry uncovers our hidden secret, “[l]ike most Believers, I finding waiting to be a brutal and often heart-troubling experience.” Florencia confirms, “[w]aiting on God is an active display of trust. It’s you maintaining the mindset of victory in the face of pending defeat.” Towanda assures us that “[i]t is in our waiting we learn how to trust that GOD knows exactly what He’s doing and has an appointed time to deliver on what He promised.” Finally, Jordan admonished that you will “realize it was worth the wait.”
Just image the weight on those who received the message of a soon coming King. The impatience displayed or the doubt that seemed to overshadow the message. What package has God promised to you that you are still waiting to receive? Ponder this Edition’s articles to receive inspiration that will encourage you while you wait.
Insomuch as the package we have all have been waiting for is yet to come, trust God during the wait and He will eventually bring it Signed, Sealed and Delivered.
We pray God will guide, comfort and enlighten you as you prepare to receive all He has planned for your life in this New Year!
