Msg Waiting Quotes

Proverbs 21:23: “Watch your words and hold your tongue; you’ll save yourself a lot of grief” (MSG).

Make sure that you don’t get so absorbed and exhausted in taking care of all your day-by-day obligations that you lose track of the time and doze off, oblivious to God. The night is about over, dawn is about to break. Be up and awake to what God is doing! God is putting the finishing touches on the salvation work he began when we first believed. We can’t afford to waste a minute, must not squander these precious daylight hours in frivolity and indulgence, in sleeping around and dissipation, in bickering and grabbing everything in sight. Get out of bed and get dressed! Don’t loiter and linger, waiting until the very last minute. Dress yourselves in Christ, and be up and about! ROMANS 13:11 – 14 MSG

Listen. Do you hear that? It is the Voice of Love calling: “Come forth, I love you. I know, it’s not easy, but I’ll be with you. Friends will help too. I know you don’t think you can, but trust Me. Yes, it will hurt, but I love you. The life I promised you is waiting. Keep stumbling forward. I love you. I always have.” God is kind, but he’s not soft. In kindness he takes us firmly by the hand and leads us into radical life-change. (Rom. 2:4 MSG)
