In the waiting
We can rest assured that God is eternally faithful and will see us to the end. Everything, even our waiting, is for our good and His glory.

We can rest assured that God is eternally faithful and will see us to the end. Everything, even our waiting, is for our good and His glory.
The Christian life was never intended to be one and done. Yes, our salvation is secure in Christ, but without regular time devoted to God and His word, it’s so easy to find ourselves drifting from the life of obedience God calls us to.
Let’s think back to all the lyrics and quotes you’ve got stored in your head. If you are able to commit those to memory, how much more should we be committing the life-changing, breath-giving words of God to our memory?
Never forget that everything you have is God’s. He has just given it to you to steward for a short amount of time. He remains Master, Lord and Creator.
And on the day that our ultimate Sabbath rest comes in full, God will reign over His new creation and we will be in our rightful place — worshiping the only One who is worthy.
I know it’s Advent and not Easter, but the two are unmistakably intertwined. To celebrate one is to celebrate the other. Without Advent, there is no Easter. Without Easter, we have no reason to celebrate Advent. And without Easter and Advent, we have no hope.
God hears every prayer that His children pray. That is promised. Does that mean God will answer every prayer the way we want or think is right? No.
Don’t be intimidated or distracted by what the end times might look like. Take comfort in what the end times certainly mean.
