Take Time to Wait • Isaiah 64:4

Technology is supposed to improve productivity and efficiency, thereby letting us have free time for a better quality of life. However, we’re busier than ever with our insatiable appetite for more; as a result, we become impatient and always in a hurry. Haste makes waste! No time for friends, family, God, prayer or church. We settle for less than God’s best since we don’t have time, wisdom, or patience to seek and wait upon God. “The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him. It is good that one should hope and wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD.” (Lamentations 3:25-26)

Less Is More • John 3:30

It’s easy for us to say we want more of God, but it’s difficult to accept that this requires self-sacrifice. We tend to approach the things of God apprehensively, as if He would burden us with something that is not good. Once we realize God has the best for us, why would we choose anything else? It’s not God who is holding back, it’s our “more of me” attitude, which shows a lack of trust in Him. Less of me is truly more of Him. John the Baptist understood this when he said “He must increase, but I must decrease.” (John 3:30)

Victory Through Trust • 1 Samuel 2:9

The virtues that the Lord honors and exalts are humility and brokenness before Him. God is in the habit of taking those who have humbled themselves before Him and exalting Himself through their lives. We live in a culture that values strength, but 1 Samuel 2:9 says that “by strength no man shall prevail.” In God’s economy, triumph comes not to the strong, but through surrender to the Lord and trust in His faithfulness. The victory over the battles of a Christian’s life goes to those who look to God for their salvation, defense, rescue, and deliverance.
