HOPE...For the Promises of God

Waiting for a miracle to happen and for God’s promises to be fulfilled can seem to take forever. Our anxiety naturally peaks when we are faced with the unknown, for example, an unconfirmed timeframe, uncertainty about how it will all work out, etc. So, what do you do when you find yourself in a period of uncertainty and confusion? Do you give in or continue to press on? The Waiting Room looks at 7 practical things you need to remember and arm yourself with whilst waiting to hear from God.

The Waiting Room

Do you believe your struggle with anger stems from the wrong behavior you see displayed in your children? The knee-jerk reactions and blow-ups you’re facing are often a result of a bigger set of “triggers.” Some of these are external, like a child’s disobedience, backtalk, or selective hearing, while others are internal, like an overflowing schedule, sleep-deprivation, or perhaps your own painful experiences from childhood. This devotional by author Amber Lia offers biblical insight and practical tools to equip and encourage you on the journey away from anger-filled reactions toward gentle, biblical responses.

Being a Part in the Great Commission

In the middle of the trials or uncomfortable circumstances, it’s so hard to sit still and wait for God’s direction. We often want to control the outcome, run or fast-forward to get to the other side. But what if the biggest blessing was in the waiting? 

Wait, What? Learning to Be Still, While You’re Waiting on God to Move

1 Cor 13 isn't as simple and straightforward a passage as it seems! It details how God expects us to love one another, and man, that kind of love is hard to live out. 

I've written a 9-day plan that will help us journey through 1 Cor 13: 4-8 bit by bit and process how God expects us to love each other. This is a journalling plan, so get your notebooks, art supplies, creativity, and vulnerability out on the table - cos' you are going to need it! 

Loving People Isn't Easy

Impatience is a self-imposed curse. On one hand, it frustrates and forces us to fixate on the future at the expense of the present. On the other hand, it causes us to crave and eventually cave into instant gratification, leading to hasty decisions that do more harm than good. This plan will discuss the importance of patience to help us wait on the Lord and be content with His timing.

The Importance of Exercising Patience

Written by a self-proclaimed former “gunslinger” of painful words, learn to speak words not of recklessness but of restoration to God, yourself, and those you love. Taken from Brady Boyd's new book "Speak Life."

Learning to Listen…to God & to Others

We don’t have to participate in the atmosphere of vitriol that pervades our culture. God has called us to a better way.

Is it true that there is a “dying to live?” Certainly, there are scenarios in life where we must die to ourselves, to our pride and to our inner control-freak in order to live at peace with others.

While We Wait

Joseph’s story begins like so many of ours: in a place off the beaten path, surrounded by people who did not believe the magnitude of his calling. However, all of that changed.

The Little Bits

We’ve all been there, done that. We’ve all waited in long lines heading nowhere fast. Waited for an event, promise, or person to come into view that we had been tarrying for. However, what if Jesus considers our meantime an opportunity for the Holy Spirit’s presence, power, and joy to be realized in our lives? He does. Let’s be encouraged from His Word, then hurry up and wait!

Ranking at the top of Christian parents’ concerns for their children are the matters of their spiritual well-being and eternal destiny. Moms and dads desire to do all they can, humanly speaking, to ensure a future heavenly reunion. This calls for perseverance in teaching their children biblical truths, exemplifying the application of those principles, and praying fervently for them. Let’s consider ideas that can help shape our thinking along these lines.

Perseverance in Prayer and Practice: A 3-Day Parenting Plan

Living counter-culture is the hallmark of a Christian's life. In a world that worships wealth, self, power, and fame, Christ's disciples are called to different standards. Christ in His teachings, in what is now famously known as the Beatitudes made eight declarations of blessedness. He describes the ideal disciple and their rewards both present and future. If Jesus rules in our hearts, your life, and mine, has to be different.

When Jesus Rules

Caring for aging adults is an honor and a privilege with challenges and opportunities.

God is pleased by faith, so we need to know how to live by faith. One of the most overlooked aspects of faith is patience. Patience is needed for a life of faith. Patience has great benefits if we allow it to have its perfect work in us. - Devon Daniel, Executive Pastor at Believer's Victory Church

Faith and Patience

In this small group study Dr. Tony Evans uses the epic faith, life, and career of Joseph to teach that God is more interested in your development than your arrival. Like Joseph, a kidnapped and enslaved boy who grew up to save an empire, the obstacles and obstructions in your life can lead to real accomplishments. Granted, detours are anything but convenient. They take you out of the way. They are longer than you originally had planned to travel. But they are necessary. God allows detours in your life because He cares more for your character than your comfort, more for your purity than your productivity. He cares about your destiny!

Detours: Lessons From Joseph

A classic song says that “waiting is the hardest part.” Sarah probably felt like that as the years slipped by and God’s promise remained unfulfilled. But Sarah learned the value of waiting on God.

In the midst of a long, painful season of waiting, I wrote a song called “While I Wait.” This five-part devotional series explores the root of the song.

Lincoln Brewster - While I Wait

Feelings of discontentment are no strangers in today's society. With instant access to millions of people and the ease with which it is possible to compare ourselves, we often become upset in an instant-gratification-driven society. This devotional helps us combat feelings of discontentment and recenter our focus back to Jesus. 

Dealing With Discontentment

While Abram waited for his promised child, an alternative to the covenant was born named Ishmael. Ishmael is a metaphor for things that 'anesthetize' us from the pain of waiting too long for God's promises. When God's promises seem far to reach, and our patience seems exhausted, how can we hold on to God's Word while we wait? What substitutes have you welcomed in place of God’s best?

The Covenant Alternative

Trust is God’s love language. Nothing brings Him more joy than when we put our hope fully in Him. In this week’s devotional, Joanna Weaver helps us see how our view of God changes how we navigate our fears and hopes in this uncertain world.

Closer Than You Think: A 5-Day Devotional by Jonathan Traylor

The Game of Life: Releasing the Weight When God Says Wait

Infertility Encouragement from Sarah's Laughter

How important is patience to your spiritual growth and victory? You may think patience isn’t a big deal, but it is. Bible patience will go after a promise or blessing for as long as it takes. It will keep you standing and believing the Word of God until the full manifestation comes. Spend the next seven days learning how you can begin walking in patience, a fruit of the spirit.

Walking in Patience: The Fruit of the Spirit 7-Day Bible-Reading Plan by Kenneth Copeland Ministries

Have you ever felt like God was inattentive, uncooperative, or late? In this 7-day reading plan, Andy Stanley shares stories from the New Testament about three different men who felt that God was not responding in their time of need. These stories teach us that we can walk through difficulties and know that God is still with us—he isn’t inattentive, uncooperative, and is never, ever late.
