Sometimes, we tend to keep on working and working and working hoping that fatigue and stress are evidences that we are doing something for God especially in regards to services in church. However, are we waiting on the Lord? I believe that we should always start our day waiting on Him (devotions, prayers, reading of the Word and a relationship with Him). Through that, we are filled with His grace, which is sufficient for us to go through each day.
When Jesus was calling the disciples to go and preach the good news, Peter was thoroughly excited but Jesus called him to wait until the day of Pentecost. Why? Because they needed the power of God to work in His kingdom.
Are we waiting for the Lord? I hope that this prayer would be our prayer too.
Lord, this morning I'll stop for a while at least to "just wait on God". I know You're wanting to work, and I for one am willing to wait this morning to hear Your voice and discover what You want to do for me today. Amen.

About Me
- Matthew Wong
- Believing that dining on the table is a sacrament as people come together to enjoy a simple meal; not differentiating culture and nation.
Half-Hearted Creatures
We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered to us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased.
- C.S Lewis
All gracious affections that are a sweet odor to Christ, and that fill the soul of a Christian with a heavenly sweetness and fragrancy, are broken hearted affections. A truly Christian love, either to God or men, is a humble broken hearted love. The desires of the saints, however earnest, are humble desires. Their hope is a humble hope; and their joy, even when it is unspeakable, and full of glory, is a humble broken hearted joy, and leaves the Christian more poor in spirit; and more like a little child, and more disposed to a universal lowliness of behavior.
