But they who wait for the LORD

  But they who wait for the LORD

The Prophet Isaiah states,

“Even youths shall faint and be weary and young men shall fall exhausted

But they who wait for the LORD Shall renew their strength;

they shall mount up with wings like eagles;

they shall run and not be weary’

they shall walk and not faint.”

                                                     Isaiah 40:30,31

Life can be hard. All kinds of things hit us. Things that could quite easily knock us off our feet, leaving us exhausted both physically and spiritually.

That being said for those who truly know Christ as their Saviour have help in getting through the rough times. 

Jesus said,

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  

For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 11:28-30.

If you consider yourself a Christian do you put your trust in Christ both in the good times and in the bad?

Please think about it.

Your Peace

 Your Peace

In the book of Colossians we read,

“Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Colossians 3:15.

If you claim to be a Christian. A true follower of Christ Jesus. Does the peace of Christ rule in your heart.

We live in a turbulent world. A world where the pressures of our daily life can if we are not careful rob us of our peace.

That’s why we need to set aside time each day to just be still and pray. Especially when we feel the troubles of the day causing us grief of whatever kind, we need to take time to pray and ask God to help us. To give us peace amid the storm we may be in.

Jesus tells us,

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  

For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30.

God may not take our burdens away, but He will come along side us and help us carry that burden, and give us peace, if we would only go to Him in Prayer.

Please think about it.
