@beholdisrael Bro, preach Christ to the nations, including Israel.

@sola_chad Yes. God is capable of this for his glory alone!

If I'm honest this has been a hard season for me lately. I've been struggling with trusting God's timing. I was reminded when reading Psalm 37 today that I am to be still before Yahweh and wait patiently. That Yahweh is good to those who wait for him and seek him, and it is good to wait quietly for God’s salvation (Lam. 3:25–26). This quiet waiting involves hoping in God’s word while the soul waits more intensely than watchmen awaiting morning (Psalm 130:5–6).

I was reminded that prior to preaching to thousands, for a season Peter went back to fishing after thinking he failed Jesus. That Paul sat in prison cells, Lazarus lay in a tomb, Jonah prayed in the belly of a fish, Hannah wept on the steps of the tabernacle, Joseph was locked in the captivity, and Moses stood in the fields of Median herding sheep. All before God made moves in his timing.

Times of waiting, while hard, remind us of the confidence we should have in God’s timing and character. When direction seems slow in coming, we're called to wait for it, assured it will come when the time is ready (Hab. 2:3). Yahweh himself waits to be gracious and show mercy, and those who wait for him are blessed, for he is a God of justice (Isa. 30:18). Rather than taking matters into their own hands, like I often am tempted to do, we are instructed not to repay evil but to wait for the Lord, who will deliver us (Prov 20:22).

Hoping for what is unseen involves waiting with patience (Romans 8:25), and through the Spirit and faith, believers eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness (Galatians 5:5). Waiting involves expectancy and hope regarding events and contingencies still in the future, it's the outworking of a spiritual posture directed at trusting God’s promises and timing rather than our own understanding.

Knowing all of this, writing here on X doesn't make my season of needing to wait any easier, but the consistent, inspired, inerrant testimony of scripture nonetheless gives me something solid to trust in. I am fickle, impatient, and finite. God is trustworthy, forbearing, and infinite. And his timing is right even if I don't know how or when things will happen.

@beholdisrael Amir,

Fix your eyes on Christ, the fulfillment, the yes & amen, and less on Israel.

Best,
Your bro in Christ

@farmingandJesus No. Through much tribulation we will enter. Now, then, and hereafter. . .

The God who saved Saul of Tarsus, the persecutor turned apostle, is the same God praying with you for your loved one tonight. Keep their name on your list. Keep bringing them to the throne. The story isn't over.

The cross changed everything — including how we respond to those who wound us.

Think about it. Jesus could have called down legions of angels. He could have ended the mockery, silenced the soldiers, walked away from the whole brutal scene. But He didn't. He chose restraint — not because He was weak, but because He was strong enough to hold back power for our sake.

That's the model we follow. When someone cuts in line, gossips about us, betrays our trust — our natural instinct is retaliation. But the cross calls us higher. It says: you have the strength to forgive. You have the power to absorb the blow rather than return it. That's not weakness. That's Christlikeness.

The Bible tells us that Hezekiah was one of Judah’s greatest kings. Then archaeologists found his seal. Stamped with the words, “Belonging to Hezekiah, son of Ahaz, king of Judah,” it is one of the few artifacts that can be directly connected to a king mentioned in Scripture.

There's a reason muscles only grow under resistance, why diamonds only form under pressure, why the deepest faith almost always emerges from the hardest seasons. Hardship isn't a detour from God's plan — sometimes it's the very classroom He uses to shape us.

That doesn't make it easy. It doesn't make the heartache lighter or the waiting shorter. But it does mean nothing is wasted. Every difficult step you've taken, every prayer prayed through tears, every morning you got up when staying down felt easier — God sees it. And He's building something in you that will honor Him for years to come.

“If the bugle gives an indistinct sound, who will get ready for battle?” 1 Corinthians 14:8

Oh, for biblical, ethical, doctrinal clarity.

Be done with all vague and fuzzy sidestepping.

[John Piper @JohnPiper]

“No one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says ‘Jesus is accursed!’ and no one can say ‘Jesus is Lord’ except in the Holy Spirit.” 1 Corinthians 12:3

Only God can create a Christian. Only God can keep a Christian.

Teaching the truth about God is compassionate.

“Jesus saw a great crowd, and he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. And he began to teach them many things.” Mark 6:34

[John Piper @JohnPiper]

“Gideon said to him, ‘Please, my lord, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us?’ . . . And the Lord turned to him and said, ‘Go in this might of yours and save Israel from the hand of Midian.’” Judges 6:13–14

Gideon to God: We have a problem.

God to Gideon: Become the solution.

[Scott Linginfelter @Scotty06989]

@JohnPiper Amen!

Give us grace to endure, O Sovereign Lord!
