Title: Waiting, But Not in Vain.hx

-
Lamentations 3:25  The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
Devotion: Waiting can feel like an empty pause, a stretch of time where nothing seems to move forward. Yet, in God's kingdom, waiting is never wasted. Every season of stillness carries divine purpose, shaping our faith, refining our hearts, and preparing us for what is to come.
  Consider Abraham, who waited decades for God's promise of a son (Genesis 21:2). Or Joseph, whose dreams seemed forgotten as he sat unjustly imprisoned (Genesis 39:20). Even David, anointed as king, spent years in the wilderness before ascending the throne (1 Samuel 16:13; 2 Samuel 5:4). Their waiting was not in vain—it was a season of preparation, a journey toward fulfillment.
  God reminds us in Isaiah 40:31, "But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." When we wait on Him, we are not stagnant—we are strengthened.
  Jesus Himself understood the power of waiting. Before His public ministry, He spent years in quiet obedience. Before His resurrection, there were three days of seeming silence. Yet in God's timing, the waiting gave way to victory.
  So, if you find yourself in a season of waiting, hold fast to His promise in Lamentations 3:25: "The Lord is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him." Your waiting is a sacred space where God is working, aligning everything for your good. Trust Him, for He is faithful, and His timing is always perfect.
  Your waiting is not in vain—it is leading you to His glorious plan. Keep hoping, keep trusting, and watch how He moves.

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 ...
