Waiting on God is Hard
Hey everyone I just wanted to give a quick update. Things are moving. We have been having meetings on Sunday nights. We are excited to have a new couple come and be a part. We are just trying to get to know each other and grow relationships.
We will hopefully be signing the lease this week for the location on 19th and Boadway here in Moore. The attorneys have been going over the lease and making changes. I think we are finally at a place where everyone is happy. Still probably won’t be able to have service in there till April possibly May. But in the meantime, we will keep meeting with our group on Sunday nights.
I was praying and talking with Kayla and we have decided to start doing some pop-up services. We are planning on having our first real service on March 5th. I have been talking with different venues. I should hear back soon from them and details will follow.
We would like to do several of these. Possibly at different locations until we get into our building. They will be simple services. We will all be in one room. But I’m excited. I’m excited to start advertising and to be having a service.
Waiting on God is hard. Especially now that we live in a world where we can have whatever we want in the palm of our hand. I’m the type that wants to put the pedal to the metal and drive this thing as fast as possible, but I’m having to wait, which is hard. But then I think of Abraham. From the time Abraham received God’s promise to its fulfillment, he had to wait 25 years. He had to wait on God for a son, an heir that would make him into a great nation. He had to believe with faith and have hope when there was no hope.
During that 25 years, I’m sure it was hard for him to believe that what God said would come to pass. It was so hard that Sarah tried to take things into her own hands at one point. God had promised Abraham many descendants, but Sarah was still unable to have children, and they were both becoming too old to have children at all. Sarah decides to give her servant Hagar to Abraham so that Sarah could have a child through her. But this wasn’t God’s plan, and it caused problems later down the road. God had a plan and He brought it to pass when Abraham was 100 and Sarah was 90. God gave them a son. From our perspective, that should not have been possible, but with God all things are possible.
When God gives us a promise we must wait on Him and remain faithful even when it seems all hope is lost. God will bring his promises to fruition. We have to be careful not to grow impatient and take things into our own hands. That’s usually when we mess things up. Wait on God.
