Scripture:
Psalms 27:14
Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.Sometimes it is the waiting that is the hardest part. For me I need to do something while I wait. But lately as I have been waiting for an answer or answers I have gotten too tired to start another project or do another thing while I wait. It is not that I have lost faith; it is that I have lost strength. So this scripture does me well. I need my heart but moreso my body to have strength. I also think there is a measure of patience in there somewhere. I could use a little more that.
I always say watch what you pray for because you might get called to the nursery where you definately will learn a little patience. Our nursery is the children between 18 months and 3 years in age. That is quite a span. This week I had a little reminder of when I was called to be nursery leader.
I came across a student from Lumen that was in my nursery class years ago. I made up a little rhyme to fit "Ring around Rosie" That is such a morbid nursery rhyme although not many really know that. But the nursery kids love the actions of the rhyme. So I made up new words to go with the actions.
Instead of Ring around the rosie, pocketful of posies, ashes ashes. We all fall down.
Mine is: Ring around Jericho, priests do your trumpets blow, shout up shout up, walls fall down. It is based on the taking of Jericho but the non conventional methods of warfare. But waiting on the Lord to save them and doing exactly what they were asked proved to be fruitful. So I am just reminding myself to continue on and someday my prayers will be answered.
