Title: Wait For the Lord!

-
I wait for the LORD, my soul doth wait, And in his word do I hope.
Psalm 130:5 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/psa.130.5.KJV
Devotion: Welcome to the advent season. Advent means "coming or arrival" and today is the first advent Sunday, we are waiting for the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ to celebrate his birth and if He comes as He promised we expectantly wait for him.
 Coming to the physical situation of life sometimes you have reason to say enough is enough I give up, I'm tired, I cannot go further etc. Your reason might be genuine because of frustration the financial situation throws up every now and then but as children of God we must be different and be the difference in the society. The people look up to us for encouragement and we must not disappoint them.
 Just as the Jews expectantly waited for the coming of the Messiah we must wait for the coming of Jesus Christ to redeem us. No matter what life throws at us we must be steadfast in our trust in God that He who promised is Faithful and will fulfill His promise. 
What is it that you are counting on Jesus for - fruit of the womb, job, divine healing, admission, please do not despair wait on the Lord your answer comes very soon. You have tried it is just a little time more and you'll be answered in full measure. (1 Thessalonians 1:10; 2Thessalonians 3:5)
  Dearly beloved, remember only those who wait to the end will be crowned (Matthew 24:13; Mark 13:13). Your testimony is here, share it.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

-
Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
