Sing a New Song
Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.—Psalm 96:1 (NIV)
“Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”—Acts 1:4-5 (NIV)
The Book of Acts begins with Jesus telling His disciples to wait. Sometimes when we are waiting for a gift from the Holy Spirit the waiting is the most important active part. Waiting is sometimes more difficult than doing anything—it takes faith and patience. When you’re in a period of waiting, turn to the Bible and be assured your faith will be rewarded.
Heavenly Father, I will wait on You for as long as it takes.
