During the Waiting

"During the waiting period, trust God without panic. Count on Him to handle the cupbearers of your life, the people who forget you, the people who break their promises. It's God's job to deal with the cupbearers of your past. It's your job to be the kind of servant He has designed you to be. Be faithful during the waiting periods of life. God will not forget you or forsake you.

It's God's job to deal with your past. Yours is to be who He's designed you to be."

— Charles R. Swindo

Check out this verse on Bible Gateway

 They hate him who reproves in the gate,and they abhor him who speaks the truth. - Amos 5:10 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Amos5:10&version=ESV

Many will be hated for telling the truth

Thoughts on Hosea 13:4-6

 But I am the Lord your Godfrom the land of Egypt;you know no God but me,and besides me there is no savior. It was I who knew you in the wilderness,in the land of drought; but when they had grazed, they became full,they were filled, and their heart was lifted up;therefore they forgot me. - Hosea 13:4-6 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hosea13:4-6&version=ESV       
So many times we are crying out to the Lord on distress, in need, in crisis. And when He sustains us or gets us through this situation, we return to normal, uncaring, sinful, forgetting the One that carried us through. May we never forget and always praise God and be thankful in all situations, regardless of circumstances. He is the one that gives us life and hope. He is the one that gives us courage and strength to survive. Let us never forget all his benefits.

 You keep him in perfect peacewhose mind is stayed on you,because he trusts in you. - Isaiah 26:3 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah26:3&version=ESV

Payton Manning

"Christians drink beer. So do non-Christians. Christians also make mistakes, just as non-Christians do. My faith doesn't make me perfect, it makes me forgiven, and provides me the assurance I looked for half my life ago. I think God answered our prayers with Cooper, and that was a test of our faith. But I also think I've been blessed—having so little go wrong in my life, and being given so much. I pray every night, sometimes long prayers about a lot of things and a lot of people, but I don't talk about it or brag about it because that's between God and me, and I'm no better than anybody else in God's sight.'

God's Voice for God's People

"God's people discover that they should listen to God's voice because he knows what is best. God's sheep hear his voice above the noise of a fallen world."   -  Matt Rogers
