Be Faithful While You Wait.

“Boaz went over and said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter. Stay right here with us when you gather grain; don’t go to any other fields. Stay right behind the young women working in my field.” ‭‭Ruth‬ ‭2:8‬ ‭

This verse in Ruth shows her steadfast faithfulness. She stayed where God and Boaz told her to even when it meant not returning to her family, she had also just lost her father-in-law, brother-in-law, and husband. Instead of going home to her family, she told her mother-in-law, Naomi, "Wherever you go, I will go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God." Ruth was faithful to God and her people even when life seemed unfaithful to her. The story goes on to her meeting Boaz, and marrying Him. From her lineage came King David. Ruth's love story has inspired many people to wait on the one. See what we notice is that she found love and she found the one meant for her, what we don't focus on is the pain she faced before she did and we also haven't focused on her faithfulness to God before she found the one. If you're in the waiting remind yourself that the pain you are facing cannot compare to the joy soon to come. When God designs the person for you it is all you want or need. You will find that person when the time is right, but until then you need to be faithful to those around you and realize that the pain will not last forever. Today, waiting on a person for you or waiting for something no matter what it is choose to be faithful to God and what He tells you to do because it will always be best for you. You are going to see what God has for you is more than you could have even asked for. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “But Ruth replied, “Don’t ask me to leave you and turn back. Wherever you go, I will go; wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.” ‭‭Ruth‬ ‭1:16‬ ‭ “Obed was the father of Jesse. Jesse was the father of David.” Ruth‬ ‭4:22‬ ‭ “Now I am glad I sent it, not because it hurt you, but because the pain caused you to repent and change your ways. It was the kind of sorrow God wants his people to have, so you were not harmed by us in any way.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭7:9‬ ‭ “Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.” Ephesians‬ ‭3:20‬ ‭

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
