Waiting Upon God

"Strength arise as we wait upon the Lord. Our hope our strong deliverer." Words to a song that remind us that God's timing is never late or early. He encourages us in our struggles through remembrance of past victories and his word, to wait. He knows our every need, he desires to take care of us as only a loving Father can and sometimes the answer is immediate, yet other times it is to wait, or even no for our own good.

Trusting in our heavenly Father who knows what we need before we even ask, is what is referred to in the bible as faith as a child. Humbly coming to Jesus with thanksgiving for the many blessings he has bestowed on us in the past and letting our request be known to him. His word promises to never leave or forsake us. So even if we are feeling alone today, we need to trust in our knowledge and past experience, not relying on how we feel in the moment.  Look to our heavenly Father and know he cares for you and me as only a parent can!

As a coach, teacher and parent we call this "self talk". What are we telling ourselves today? I encourage you to memorize scripture and repeat it when the devil comes and tempts us to look at the storm and not our Savior! Listen to this song and be encouraged in your struggles today when you are tempted to fear.
