On this day the Lord has made . . .

As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.

So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

so easy to fall into sin . . . one tiptoe at a time


Listening to the radio and the pastor is talking about doing things in God’s time. Just yesterday I asked God for wisdom about starting school again. I felt that I was hearing a no for the answer. So I started telling myself that maybe this was just me being worried about this hard class. Maybe I am just dreading the work. I’m not hearing anything really. I’ll just read a bit of this class assignment. I won’t start. Then I got excited about the class. So, I started school. Then today I’m hearing this sermon and I know for a fact that I was hearing God and I was being told to wait.

 


This is what is written on his webpage about today’s sermon: Timing is important in everything, especially when it comes to our walk of faith. When we wait upon the Lord, we are trusting God to do what appears to be nothing until we hear Him tell us exactly what to do and how to do it. In this message, Dr. Stanley explains why is it wise to wait, how we wait, and the consequences of failing to do so. Waiting isn’t doing nothing. Discover how a determined stillness to walk in obedience to God results in the best of God’s blessing.

Those who wait for the Lord
Will gain new strength;
They will mount up with wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary.
–Isaiah 40:31
