WAIT ON ME!

This morning Pastor Jay delivered a sermon on the Biblical Doctrine of waiting for God.

I. SOME BIBLICAL EXAMPLES OF WAITING UPON THE LORD:

A. ABRAHAM AND SARAH (FOR ISAAC)
B. NOAH (FOR THE FLOOD AND SUBSIDING WATERS)
C. JOSEPH (FOR HIS "TIME" IN POWER)
D. JESUS (FOR THE "TIME TO BE FULFILLED")
E. MARY AND MARTHA (FOR JESUS TO ARRIVE WHEN LAZRUS DIED.
F. THE DISCIPLES (FOR THE PROMISED HOLY SPIRIT)
G. ALL BELIEVERS (AWAITING HIS RETURN)

*IN EACH CASE THEY
1. KNEW GOD’S PROMISES
2. RESTED IN GOD’S CHARACTER
3. RELIED UPON HIS LOVE

* IN EACH CASE, IT WAS WORTH THE WAIT!!

II. THE ENERGY AND EFFORT REQUIRED TO WAIT UPON GOD:

III. THE ENCOURAGING RESULTS OF WAITING UPON GOD

A. RENEWED STRENGTH (spiritually, emotionally and
sometimes physically)
B. MOUNT UP WITH WINGS LIKE EAGLES
C. RUN(THE RACE OF LIFE) AND NOT GET WEARY
(FACING LIFE'S RACE IN GOD’S STRENGTH NOT OUR OWN)
D. WALK AND NOT FAINT
