Dear Church Family,
We hope this email finds you well and still reflecting on the message, “The Challenge of Delay.“
Summary: Pastor Johnson delivered a thought-provoking message on dealing with the challenge of delay in our lives. The sermon explored how we often struggle with waiting and delay, jumping to wrong conclusions about God’s involvement in our situations. It emphasized the importance of rejecting these wrong conclusions, reviewing God’s character, recognizing our human limitations, and reaffirming our connection with God. The message reminds us that by waiting on the Lord – not passively, but by actively wrapping our lives around Him – we can find renewed strength and overcome the frustrations of delay.
Takeaways:
- Reject wrong conclusions about God: When facing delays, we must resist the temptation to believe that God has forgotten us or doesn’t see our struggles.
- Remember God’s character: God is everlasting, all-powerful, and never grows weary. His understanding surpasses our own, and His timing is perfect.
- Wrap your life around God: True waiting on the Lord means actively entwining our lives with His truth, promises, and character, drawing strength from Him.
As we go through this week, let’s reflect on areas in our lives where we might be struggling with delay. Instead of becoming discouraged, let’s choose to “wrap ourselves around the Lord,” trusting in His timing and drawing strength from His unchanging nature.
May we all experience the renewal and strength that comes from truly waiting on the Lord.
Blessings,
