I have a promise of tomorrow not that I earned it but by the grace of God.

Read: Psalm 40:1-3
Waiting is hard. We wait in grocery lines, in traffic, in the doctors office. We twiddle our thumbs, stifle our yawns, and fret inwardly in frustration. On another level, we wait for a letter that doesnt come, for a prodigal child to return, or for a spouse to change. We wait for a child we can hold in our arms. We wait for our hearts desire.
In Psalm 40, David says, I waited patiently for the Lord. The original language here suggests that David waited and waited and waited for God to answer his prayer. Yet as he looks back at this time of delay, he praises God. As a result, David says, God put a new song . . . a hymn of praise in his heart (40:3 niv).
What a chapter can be written of Gods delays! said F. B. Meyer. It is the mystery of educating human spirits to the finest temper of which they are capable. Through the discipline of waiting, we can develop the quieter virtuessubmission, humility, patience, joyful endurance, persistence in well-doingvirtues that take the longest to learn.
What do we do when God seems to withhold our hearts desire? He is able to help us to love and trust Him enough to accept the delay with joy and to see it as an opportunity to develop these virtuesand to praise Him.
Hi everybody!

Tomorrow ‘s church band will be just bass and drums.
and voices of course...making a joyful noise.
Pro 27:1
Do not boast about tomorrow,
For you do not know what a day may bring forth.
Jam 4:14
whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.
He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.
May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.
May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.
G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.
