In Isaiah 30 : 18 it reads, "Blessed are those who wait for Him!"
I had chosen this text for the letter 'W' in the series of sermons on the ABC of Faith (see: http://frca.org.au/southernriver/sermons/ This is a series of sermons, whereby I have allocated an active to each letter of the alphabet, a do-word, to show that what we confess we must also live. The series started with the letter 'A', to which I allocated the word 'Amen', starting with God's promises, which are all Yes and Amen in Jesus Christ ( 2 Cor. 1 : 20). However, having this security in Christ we must now also live our faith, walk with the LORD each day. So often we fall short in this, but where in true repentance we have confessed our sins, we may cling to God's grace, which is new every day again. God's amazing grace in Jesus Christ. Amazing indeed - when you see your life stained with sin each day, and yet God remains faithful to the promises given to us at the very beginning of our life. Let us never take this for granted, but indeed stand in awe each time again. That makes one humble and also eager to fight sin and amend life.
I had hoped to finish the abovementioned series of sermons late last year. Yet the LORD decided differently, teaching me to wait for Him, for His time. Waiting - whilst you would like to move on. How often is this not the case in life. Yet God's time is perfect. We know this, but to live it is often a different story.
By now I had hoped to see some signs of improvement, less lethargic, more motivation. Yet the progress on the road to recovery is slower than I had expected. Also this is from God.
Tomorrow my wife and I hope to go for a fortnight to Busselton for a real break, away from everything. We pray fervently that this break may help.
For the rest, I'm still undergoing all kind of tests to see if there is a physical cause for this chronic fatigue. I will keep you up to date.
