Embracing the Art of Waiting on the LORD

by Yvette van Niekerk
Lamentations 3: 25 (RSV) The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him. How to wait on the LORD? This million-dollar question is of paramount importance. When I set aside time to wait for the Lord, I find solace in seeking a quiet space. It's crucial to consider my surroundings and the people in my vicinity. To maintain focus and clarity, I immerse myself in prayer and meditate on scriptures that hold relevance to my current situations. I am reminded that the Lord is gracious to those who patiently await Him, and He is kind to those who diligently seek Him. In my perspective, being in a tranquil environment with peace and stillness allows me to patiently await the answers I seek to move forward. Today, I acknowledge that answers don't always come immediately. Yet, when they do, I am often astonished, scarcely able to believe the remarkable occurrences. It's astonishing to witness how our Lord manifests Himself when we await His responses. Lord, today I long to hear from You. You understand my current feelings of inadequacy, unworthiness, and the sense of standing before You with a trembling heart. You know of my feelings of insignificance and inferiority today. Lord, You are aware of my concerns about the cake I baked. I wonder if this lady will appreciate it. I crafted it with the vision of it being delightful. I'm curious about her reaction upon seeing it. You are also aware, Lord, that my husband and I sense the weight of certain sanctions. May I implore You to lift these sanctions and grant us Your supernatural favor today. This morning, LORD, I recall Your Word in Mark 11:24, "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Lord, I believe that You are at work on behalf of both myself and my husband. Jeremiah 33:3 assures us, "Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known." Lord, in our current state, may I seek from You a revelation regarding our next steps? Can You speak into both my heart and my husband's heart so that we may address what You are revealing to us? Thank You, Lord, in Jesus Christ's name. Amen.

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

~ Reach Out if You Wish to Succeed ~ Galatians 5:13 – “By love, serve one another.”

Gentle reader, Permit me to offer this quiet truth: success does not arrive on satin cushions, announced by trumpets or tapping politely at your parlour door. No — it is more elusive, more noble in its pursuit. It often hides itself behind connections yet to be made, and relationships yet to be pursued. To flourish in this life, one must be bound — not by title or fortune — but by divine connection. For those who are destined to elevate you may not arrive unbidden. More often, it is you who must summon the courage to seek them out. Let us consider the evidence: Why is the newspaper sold on every corner, and the soda machine placed on every floor? Because success is positioned where the people are. Even our beloved Lord, Jesus — did He sit upon a high throne in a palace, declaring, “Only here may you find Me?” Certainly not. He moved among the people — to the market stalls, along the dusty shores where fishermen cast their nets, into the synagogues and modest homes. “He went through...
