We have all heard about waiting on the Lord. And there is no falsehood in that. But how do we wait on the Lord and receive? We explore the three key factors in our article. https://lnkd.in/deFHASC7

While we always have incredible stories of the way the Lord is moving globally, there are so many we cannot share due to the heavy persecution in certain areas. Will you join us in praying specifically for these places? Learn more at https://hubs.la/Q02nznz60

Trust in the Lord fully, and He will guide your steps and make your path clear

MAY 25 BETTER THAN WINNING When you do things, do not let selfishness or pride be your guide. Instead, be humble and give more honor to others than to yourselves. PHILIPPIANS 2:3 NCV My Lord, l look to you to satisfy my need for justice and for righteousness. I know that you have my back and because of this, I can love anyone who mistreats me and I can humbly act when confronted with what I think is injustice. Help me to defer to your wisdom and treat others, especially those whom I think are intentionally treating me poorly, with a positive attitude. Help me to look for the positive possibilities in their actions, while I allow you to deal with their hearts. Unlike me, you don't judge by mere appearances but, instead, make right judgments. Help me to follow in your steps and put aside my own pride so l see things more clearly. How can the Holy Spirit help you to treat someone more humbly?

THE FRUIT OF REPENTANCE: ARE YOU BEARING THE RIGHT FRUIT? "Repentance is the key to entering the kingdom of God." In Matthew 21:18-19, Jesus curses a barren fig tree, highlighting the importance of bearing fruit in our lives. Just as the fig tree was meant to bear fruit, we too are called to live out our faith actively, not just know about it. In today's world, especially in the West, many are familiar with Christian teachings but fail to live them out. Knowing about Christ is not enough; we must show it through our actions. Repentance is crucial—it transforms knowledge into a lived encounter with God. Jesus calls us to bear fruit in keeping with repentance (Matthew 3:8), moving from mere understanding to active faithfulness. Are you bearing the fruit God has called you to?

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate – we can not consecrate – we can not hallow – this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us – that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion – that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain – that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom – and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. "The Gettysburg Address" by Abraham Lincoln on November 19th, 1863.

In honor of July 4th tomorrow, I thought it apropos to post this Prayer by our first President. You can read more about it in my latest post: https://buff.ly/4cKZCOO

Exercise caution when receiving information, for appearances can be deceiving. Not everything that presents itself before you is as it seems. While comprehending the immediate situation is crucial, remember that understanding is not the final destination. Press forward with unwavering faith, believing that the Lord will provide guidance and clarity on your journey. Trust in the process, and let your faith be a guiding light as you move towards what lies ahead.
