Finding God in the Delays of Life

November 26, 2014
Is your heart asking, "How long, O Lord"? Who or what are you waiting for? A job? A friend to be a friend? Someone to love you or for you to love back? Are you waiting for a break - or a baby? A child to say they're sorry, reconciliation, or an important prayer to be answered? Maybe you're waiting for the bullying or betrayal to stop - or lying, hating, injustice, corruption, or hurt. Or perhaps you are in a crisis of faith that needs to be resolved.

I believe in Jesus, but for so long I've been spiritually dry. I made a mistake. A bad mistake! And since then, I've been living in a desert of regrets in a dry and barren land... thirsty, thirsty, thirsty. It's been a long time since I've experienced a sense of the supernatural. I feel isolated,marginalized, full of self doubt – a failure. Exodus 3 & 4

We often ask, "Where is God? I look for Him, but I do not see Him. I listen for Him, but I do not hear Him." It is dark. So very dark. Not pitch black perhaps, but my life is lived in shadows. How can I find God in the shadows? Esther

Have you tried to carry all of your groceries into the house in one trip so you didn't have to go back out to the car? Your arms are aching, the bags are pinching your fingers, and the food is beginning to slide out. But you keep moving, hoping to get everything into the kitchen before the bags break! Now imagine that someone in your family came out as you were unloading your bags and offered to carry them so you could sit down to rest. You probably wouldn't turn them down! Well, Jesus has made this offer - He wants to carry our burdens. We just need to say yes. In Matthew 11:28-29, Jesus says: Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. This is the 2nd message in Jill's 2-CD series, "A View from the Porch Swing."

One of the best known passages in the Bible is Psalm 23. It describes the relationship between a shepherd and His flock, in which He guides them through pastures, hills and dark valleys. In every case, the sheep are content because the shepherd is there, offering protection and comfort. We are the sheep in this story! Jill teaches that no matter what is happening in our lives, good or bad, the only way we can find true contentment - and even joy - in every situation is by trusting in the Lord, our shepherd, who promises to never leave us. This is the 1st message in Jill's 2-CD series "A View from the Porch Swing."

Every year the news shows shocking scenes of houses washed away in mudslides, hurricanes, or floods. No matter how grand or beautiful the homes might have been, they end up in rubble when strong storms hit because they weren't built on solid ground. Life is the same way. Storms like job losses, health problems, or broken relationships can sweep you away unless your foundation is built on something immovable and unchanging - a relationship with Jesus Christ.This is the final message in Jill's 8-message series on the Beatitudes titled "Solid Ground."Matthew 5:10

You can't be a peacemaker if you don't have peace with Jesus, the Prince of Peace. We've all heard this before, but do we really understand what that means and how to practice it in our lives? In this message, Jill Briscoe talks about the path to finding our peace with Jesus and making peace with others. It's an important topic – because we can't mend our marriages, settle family conflicts, or resolve issues with others if we don't truly understand what having peace means. Based on Matthew 5:9, this is the 7th message in Jill's 8-message series on the Beatitudes titled Solid Ground.
