Wait Confidently

As for me, I look to the Lord for help. I wait confidently for God to save me, and my God will certainly hear me. Micah 7:7 In the past few weeks, I’ve mentioned that I have found four aspects of waiting in scripture: 1. Wait quietly 2. Wait patiently 3. Wait confidently 4. Wait […]

Wait Patiently

As I said in my last post, I’ve found four keys in scripture on how we are supposed to wait. 1. Wait quietly 2. Wait patiently 3. Wait confidently 4. Wait expectantly I’ve had plenty of time to wait quietly as I pray that my laryngitis will resolve. Right now, I’m about five or six […]

Over the past two months, I have been contemplating the idea of waiting on God.

While I’m Waiting…

If you look up the definition of the word “wait,” it says to “stay where one is or delay action until a particular time or until something else happens.” We live in a society that values activity; therefore, waiting is an unnatural activity—or lack of activity.

Fluffles and Farts

When God Speaks

Have you ever heard God speak? I have never heard an audible voice, but I know without a doubt that He has spoken to me many times. Sometimes He speaks directly through His word.

After all, following Him hadn’t worked  out so well for me. When I finally recovered enough to open my Bible, I somehow landed in the book of Job. I’ve […]
