WAIT UPON THE LORD

 This week's text is from Isaiah 40: 28-31 "Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainted not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that WAIT UPON THE LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint".
This week's animal figure is the EAGLE.
Some facts about the eagles compare to humans:
= Eagles have a 20/5 vision, humans 20/20
= Eagles can see 340 degrees field vision, humans 180 degrees.
= Eagles have 2 foveae per eye with 2 million cones per millimeter, humans have one fovea per eye with 200.000 cones per millimeter.
= Eagles longevity is of 35-40 years, humans 70-100.
= Eagles can fly at 100 MPH at an altitude of 10.000-20.000 feet high, humans cannot fly on their own.
This and more is what we humans can be blessed with if we only WAIT (Trust) UPON THE LORD.
In conclusion, some exhortation from the wisdom of King Solomon. "Trust in the lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Be not wise in thine own eyes; fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones". Proverbs 3: 5-8

  Welcome to our page. Jeremiah 9:23-24 says, "Thus says the Lord: "Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom. Let not the mighty man glory in his might. Let not the rich man glory in his riches; But let him who glories glory in this, That he understands and knows Me. That I am the Lord exercising lovingkindness, judgement, and righteousness in the earth. For in these I delight", says the Lord". Oh what a difference it would be if we could only understand and know God!. Let us all purpose in our hearts to make 2024 the year in which we will know God better and understand Him more. May we all come closer to Him as He also comes closer to us. Make the peace of God which surpasses all understanding be with each one of you and yours. "Maranatha"

T E M P T A T I O N part 3

  In our last blog we saw that it is the devil who tempts us and he is so bad that no one escapes his temptations, we also read that he does it because he wants to destroy people, but we read that we must do three things not to fall into temptation; we must be sober, vigilant, and resist the devil. Today we are going to read Hebrews 2:18 "For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted. He is able to aid those who are tempted" Yes, He (Jesus) is able, and I should add, that He is not just able, He is ready and willing to aid (Help) those of us when we are tempted. What do we do when we need help? We ask, right? Then every time we find out that we are tempted we must call upon Jesus for help, and be confident that He will help. 2-Peter 2:9 says that the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations. Jesus knows how to deliver us because He Himself was tempted just as we are and overcame the temptations. I must encourage everyone reading this to call upon Jesus for...

Mount Up With Wings As Eagles

  The eagle is the bird that flights the highest, up to 10.000 feet. The eagle is not afraid of the storms, in fact he likes the storms because he takes advantage of the storm to flight high. When the eagle sees the storm coming he launches into flight to ascend in a spiral manner, upward, upward, upward until the storm passes, but in the process he finds himself closer to the light of the sun. Other birds and animals when they see the storm coming they get afraid, run to hide and to find protection. Christians who wait and trust in the Lord are like eagles, they see the storm coming and they prepare to ascend upward, upward, and upward closer in their experience with the Lord, the sun of righteousness. Every storm the Christian faces makes him/her stronger and stronger ready to defeat a bigger storm. The Christian should say as the Psalmist, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mo...
