1 thes 4:7
For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Mhmmm...Hm..
This has been weighing on my mind...and I need to be reminded to remain focused, only then do I find myself hopeful.
“Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him” (Isaiah 64:4).
“But those who wait on the Lord will find new strength. They will fly high on wings as eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint” (Isaiah 40:31).
“Yet the LORD longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the LORD is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him” (Isaiah 30:18).
Ecclesiates 3:11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
Psalms 73:24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. 25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. 26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
"Waiting encourages me to be yielded when I understand whom I wait on and when I see what He does with those who wait on Him. God is never in a hurry for anything because times and seasons are in His hands. If our mission on earth is but one, He will still have us wait and be completely prepared to fulfill that one purpose because all His purposes point to His love for all of us. They must be timely."
1 Thess 5:12-14
12Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you. 13Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other. 14And we urge you, brothers, warn those who are idle, encourage the timid, help the weak, be patient with everyone.well. i started volunteer work on thursday, and i flipped open the bible to this passage, which, i think as a physio, truly gave me insight as to how to conduct myself whilst being supervised. v12-13 is about dealing with colleagues (who are also my supervisors) and then when dealing with patients, v14 is quite applicable:
1. warn those who are idle (ie. get patients out of bed rest. or else muscle atrophy and the like)
2. encourage the timid (ie. fall patients who are scared to start walking again for fear of recurrence)
3. help the weak (ie. the patients who have been bed ridden for a long time)
4. be patient with everyone (ie. patients who are progessing slowly)
hm. hope i can keep this in mind for the next 2 weeks.
