In the Psalms, David wrote about the importance of waiting for the Lord’s timing. “I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD.” Psalm 27:13-14. David expressed trust in waiting for the Lord that serves as an example for us. Waiting for God’s timing is essential to spiritual peace and contentment. Our timing is never better than God’s. People may launch out on their own and fail to seek the Lord’s will or timing. Then they wonder why they are not blessed. The wise are those who wait for the Lord. God’s perfect will and His timing always work together. His timing is always perfect because He is perfect. He does what is best for His children when the time is right. Our Father in heaven knows what is best for us, so we need to trust in Him. The wisest thing we can do is seek God’s will and His timing in our lives. He will answer in His time, in His way according to His will, but we may need to wait. Waiting for the Lord by trusting Him renews our faith and brings stability to our lives. The message this Sunday, which will also be streamed on Facebook Live, will consider the importance and essence of waiting for the Lord.

'Worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness.' Psalm 96:9
Christians wonder whether we will remember life on earth when we are in heaven. Some understand the Lord’s words as teaching that our earthly lives will not be remembered. "For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind." Isaiah 65:17. Will we have no memory of our loved ones and friends from our time on earth? Others conclude that only the bad memories from our earthly life will be forgotten. This is based on the verse preceding Isaiah 65:17 which states, "because the former troubles are forgotten and are hidden from my eyes." Isaiah 65:16. These words more closely align with the words in Revelation. "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." Revelation 21:4. Our memories may be cleansed, not erased. The memories that will be removed are the ones that involve pain, suffering, sin and sadness. Heaven would not be heaven if we retained such memories. What a glorious place heaven will be! The message this Sunday, which will also be streamed on Facebook Live, will consider the blessings of eternity with the Lord.
