Title : Waiting on God.

-

"Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. Psalm 62:1"
Devotion : Some trust in their money, others trust in their idols, some also trust their political power, and still others trust in their talents or gifts. Psalms 20:7-8 says "Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright." 
  Money, idols, political power, talents, or gifts can fail you, but "those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and shall walk, and not faint" (Isaiah 40:31). 
  Sometimes it is difficult to wait on the Lord; however, it is the only solution for lasting salvation. Waiting on the Lord means developing the character of looking up to God and His Word for direction. Sometimes you may have to leave the crowd and get alone with God in fellowship for specific direction. Jesus often went away by himself, to be alone(Matthew 14:23; Mark 6:46-47 and John 6:15). Luke 6:12 says that "And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. 
  Only a personal relationship with the Lord will propel you to agree with the psalmist that the Lord is your salvation, rock, and defense. Dear beloved, how do you wait on God?
 Dear beloved, how do you wait on God? In night vigil, prayer and fasting? Try either of those.

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6" Devotion : There are three main keys: way, truth, and life.

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 ...
