More Than Just Waiting

Bible in a Year: 1 Kings 16–18; Luke 22:47–71

[Jesus] gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.” Acts 1:4

Police charged a woman with reckless driving after she drove off the street and onto the sidewalk and back because she didn’t want to wait for a school bus dropping off students!

While it’s true that waiting can make us impatient, there are also good things to do and learn in the waiting. Jesus knew this when He told His disciples to “not leave Jerusalem” (Acts 1:4). They were waiting to “be baptized with the Holy Spirit” (v. 5).

As they gathered in an upper room, likely in a state of excitement and anticipation, the disciples seemed to understand that when Jesus told them to wait, He didn’t say for them to do nothing. They spent time praying (v. 14); and informed by Scripture, they also chose a new disciple to replace Judas (v. 26). When they were joined together in worship and prayer, the Holy Spirit descended upon them (2:1–4).

The disciples hadn’t simply been waiting—they’d also been preparing. As we wait on God, it doesn’t mean doing nothing or impatiently rushing forward. Instead we can pray, worship, and enjoy fellowship as we anticipate what He’ll do. The waiting prepares our hearts, minds, and bodies for what’s to come.

Yes, when God asks us to wait, we can be excited—knowing that we can trust Him and the plans He has for us!

Today's Reflection

Do you find yourself in a season of waiting? How can you see this as a season of preparation instead?

REQUEST PERMISSION TO COME ABOARD



CHARLESTOWN, Mass. (Jan. 14, 2008) The first major snowfall of the New Year blankets the USS Constitution. Despite the weather "Old Ironsides" remained open for free public tours. At 210 years-old, USS Constitution is the oldest commissioned warship afloat in the world, manned by 67 active-duty United States Sailors and visited by nearly half a million visitors annually.

It's a beautiful day for the race. Stew Can is the favorite today, Assault is in there, Dogbiscuit is three to one, Safety Pin has been scratched, and at 20:1, Beetle Bomb. Now the horses are approaching the starting gate, and there they go!

The William Tell Overture--Spike Jones & His City Slickers (commentary by Doodles Weaver) (1948)

[DoughtyOne]

I,... pledge allegiance, to the blessed flag of the United States of America, and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands, one nation under God, with liberty and justice for all.

The goodness that our nation incorporates into it's justice and legal codes, is not only for the blessing and goodness of our own nation, but extends far beyond our borders to help others around the world. The people of this world are so much better off because our Founders used a moral code heavily influenced by Judeo Christian ethics.

Many of the battles we fight, are not solely for us, but for mankind. I know that some folks don't like this, but who else stands up for other nations and people like we do. Will the U. N., China, or some other nation step up with as moral a code was we have tried to advance around the planet?

That pledge covers a lot more than most people realize.

We are that beacon on a hill, a president some thirty plus years ago spoke of. He was right.

Should we fail, our goodness on this planet will then be realized in it's full nature, and it will be sorely missed. Those of us who were angered because of our involvement around the planet, will finally begin to understand why it was necessary. Those who thought our nation was a pariah, will then find out what a pariah nation is really like.

Our nation will not last forever. One day this world will fall in on itself. Even now we have it pretty good.

People forget how bad things can get.

Refresher courses remain at bay, because of our Founders and the fact this Pledge is still recited with reverence by the majority of our Citizens.

That’s such a classic.

Starts with the sweet beginning of the William Tell Overture.

Bing’s career was beginning to fade by the early Fifties, but this gave him a chance to work outside his traditional box. This is a duet with Rosemary.

“LAST NIGHT WHEN WE WERE YOUNG”

This tune from 1935 was to be featured in the film “Metropolitan” but was cut at the last minute. Lyrics are by Yip Harburg.

This is an out-take from MGM’s “In the Good Old Summertime” from 1949 that was cut to reduce running time. As you can see, this song had bad luck when it came to the movies. The footage was rediscovered in 2004.
