Think On These Things By Reverend Juanita G. Wingo
The Burden of Waiting I waited patiently for the Lord. Psalm 40:1
The burden is the exercise of patience. It weighs heavily upon us. Waiting is heavy. It slows you down. It drags time along making it appear to move so slowly. Tick tock. Tick tock. You can almost hear the clock moving minute by minute, second by second, until you want to do something… anything to provoke movement, to make something happen, to get some action, to get your prayer answered, to get what you are waiting for. But you must wait. The Lord will act. He heard us when we cried out to him. We just may have to wait. We have to bear the burden of patience. He will move and act as he had planned. His plan is in his timing and his timing is what wears us out. Why can’t it happen now, Lord? We ask. We plead. We beg. We implore. We expect. We demand! And God moves at his own pace. And the burden gets heavier as more patience is required. We don’t bear this burden well. We get impatient. We get restless. We get tired. But patience is required. Patience is God’s strength. And strength is God’s masterpiece. He knows what he is doing and why. His timing is always perfect. So wait. Just wait. Wait, I say, on the Lord. Power Magazine n February 2017

MOVING FORWARD
“For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” ~ Jeremiah 29:11 Happy New Year! It's official. We have moved … out of 2016 into 2017. Due to my affiliation with a local moving and storage company, I know the importance of “moving forward”. The best relocations are planned and calculated. And while others are often the results of the unexpected or an impending eviction, actually positive results can still be attained. Moving requires a degree of organization and discipline to go smoothly. Not only does it involve clearing out old debris from places that you haven’t inspected for awhile, but also discarding useless things and making preparations for the new space that you will occupy. The new year that we move into takes that kind of effort! Unless you like clutter, you may not be able to – nor should you – take everything with you in your move. So start by leaving your Disappointments behind. No doubt some of you are unhappy with our recent presidential election. In fact, if the popular vote is correct, over half the country may have extra-baggage that just has no place coming along. Disillusionment can't go either. It was very discouraging to many to see the level of depravity displayed at leadership levels. Policies aside, Barack & Michelle Obama have demonstrated the epitome of what decency and respect looks like. Charisma and charm exuberated from the Obama’s. Whereas the recent campaign was filled with indecency and disrespect, putting many on edge. Not to mention if foreign governments like Russia can influence our elections, what has our democracy become? While there is reasonable cause for concern, disillusionment just won't fit. We must remain Optimistic. The Bible says I know the plans I have for you ... plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11). So take as much Optimism as you can and keep the rest in storage.
Still, some uncertainty comes with every move, so be prepared. This year we have plenty. There are so many uncertainties associated with a new administration. We are left to wonder what will happen to our communities and country. Will families be broken up? Will health coverage be lost? Will government sanctions be overturned and reversed? Uncertainties only get in the way. Better to move them aside. One of the best ways to keep uncertainties to a minimum is good preparation. Now more than ever we must plan and strategize to better the future. Support and use minority businesses like The Power Magazine and Maggieslist.com to get connected to the services that benefit our own communities. Visit the site www. watchtheyard.com/life/black-ownedbanks. Let’s move forward and open a savings account in a Black owned Bank of your choice. We cannot continue to be a group of perpetual consumers. We do not know what’s in the future but we know who holds the future. Until next time be sure to check out yours truly and Rev. Wingo on WOLB 1010 AM on Fridays from 12 noon - 1:00 p.m., the largest Christian community radio in Baltimore, MD. You can email me at annwilliams@ramovers.com. I don’t respond to all comments but I love the feedback.
