"But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength...and not faint." Are you in a hurry, but God seems not to be? One of the most difficult things in the Christian life is having to wait on God to move in our behalf in times of difficulty and uncertainty. The time can be personally excruciating between a biopsy and the pathology report, or between a pink slip and eventually finding a new job, or between a marital separation and the dreaded divorce, or between an accident and the end of months of rehabilitation. Or, these times could actually draw us closer to the Lord than we ever thought possible! This deeper intimacy, which is always God's purpose for any delay, will not, however, happen by accident. This simple message provides a practical strategy you can use to exploit for the greatest possible spiritual benefit these times of waiting on God. Your next crisis can become a doorway to blessing. Listen and Enjoy!

“ Great Sermon! ” Dearest Marcy, I hope and pray that all is well. You may not remember me but, when I said I would love and pray form my friends forever- I meant it. I was lost but now am saved by our father by grace. I have never forgotten about you or any of my class mates from bose elementary. Know that I care and by the power of the lord I pray for us all.

“ Simply the Best! ” We all know that we need to wait upon the Lord. But how to do that is another thing. This sermon not only tells us Biblically how to do that, but it comforts, encourages, and gives hope to those that are painfully waiting. I thank the Lord for this life-saving message. And I thank Mr. Stewart as well.

“ Great Sermon! ” No doubt a timeless message-could not be more appropriate for myself at this time. I must listen to this sermon again, as it has so much within it that demonstrates God's truth and His love for all that are willing to wait upon Him. This has always been a difficulty for me, but with hearing such a brilliant sermon as Dr. Stewart's I can only find reassurance that He is everpresent and full of mercy. Thankyou and God bless!
