Hurry Up and Wait

A little pre-blog treat for those in anticipation of the apartment viewing!

This week, and specifically today, I have been struck with the realization that over the past 6 months during our newest transitional period, that God has been impressing upon our hearts patience.  It's definitely safe to say that we have not only recognized this in the past but also had conversations about this exact topic.  It seems to me that because I am so thick headed at times that God needs to revisit a lot of the things that he has taught me previously, or maybe a more optimistic view is that I did learn the aspect he was teaching me and now there is something new to add into the mix. Good point to ponder I'd say!

Patience in the Bible:

• "I waited patiently for the LORD; he turned to me and heard my cry." Psalm 40:1 

• "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." Romans 12:12

• "We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised." Hebrews 6:12

• "This means that God’s holy people must endure persecution patiently, obeying his commands and maintaining their faith in Jesus." Revelation 4:12

Also this week I had the opportunity to listen to a sermon on biblical church planting by Voddie Baucham.  His main text for the sermon was in 2 Timothy.  Since then I have found a huge interest in digging back into the book of 2 Timothy for my personal devotions and have found it quite awesome.  I think I found my verse for the rest of the year and hopefully for the rest of my life!

 "As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry."   2 Timothy 4:5
