"THEY WILL STILL SHOW IT!"

"THEY WILL STILL SHOW IT!"
"Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait
for the LORD" (Psalm 27:14, NIV).
"I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I
put my hope" (Psalm 130:5, NIV).
My four-year-old son demonstrated a strong faith that
was challenging to me one Saturday morning. He was
watching his favorite show - a cartoon show - on the
television. Suddenly, the local channel where he was
watching it had a technical problem. One minute, two
minutes, three minutes
. It was getting to ten minutes,
yet the channel could not rectify the problem. It was
then I advised him to change to another channel. His
response was, "They will still show it!" He did not
leave the channel until the problem was solved and the
cartoon show was televised again to his admiration.
What a lesson for us! Have you been enjoying God's
goodness for a time, but that goodness seems to cease?
Have you waited for Him in vain to restore that
goodness to you? Are you tired of waiting for Him? Are
you considering trying another means of getting
pleasure and goodness apart from God?
Have faith in God! Do not lose hope. He has not
forgotten you. He will still show His goodness to you.
"
For His compassions never fail. They are new every
morning; great is your faithfulness" (Lamentation
3:22b-23, NIV). Remember also the words the Psalmist,
"When the LORD brought back the captives to Zion, we
were like men who dreamed. Our mouths were filled with
laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was
said among the nations, 'The LORD has done great things
for them.' The LORD has done great things for us, and
we are filled with joy" (Psalm 126:1-3, NIV).
Mary and Martha could testify to this. They waited for
Jesus Christ to come and heal their sick brother,
Lazarus. He did not come until the man died. He
eventually came after the man had been buried for four
days. Yet, He restored their joy by raising Lazarus
from the dead! (See John 11.)
He will still show it!
In His service,
