The Wagons Are Coming
Hold on, don't despair!
.
.
Wait for God’s treasures and stop trying to make things
happen your way - the wagons are coming, overflowing with the goodness of
God. God's
provision is worth waiting for. Don't settle for good - wait for His best. His
provisions last while worldly stuff rusts and corrodes. Don't settle for rusty
iron when He has silver and gold for you.

“They told him all the words of Joseph, which he had said to them,
and when he saw the wagons that Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of
their father Jacob revived.” - Genesis
45:27
Jacob's
love for Joseph aroused his ten older sons to jealousy, prompting them to sell
Joseph into slavery and then to cover their deed with a lie.
In the
years that followed, Joseph rose from slavery to power in Egypt, while famine
fell upon his family (Genesis 41:56-57).
As his
sons journeyed to buy food in Egypt, Jacob looked around and saw his
expectations for his sons and his land reduced to dry dust.
But Jacob
had God's Word.
Day after day he reminded himself, "In blessing, I will
bless thee and in multiplying, I will multiply thee" (Genesis
22:17).
One day
he heard a sound -- the wagons were coming!
But they
weren't creaking and rattling like when they left.
No! They
were heavy and full of provision and promise!
Hold on,
don't despair!
The
wagons are coming, overflowing with the goodness of God.
God's
provision is worth waiting for.
Don't
settle for good. Wait for His best.
His
provisions last while worldly stuff rusts and corrodes.
Don't
settle for rusty iron when He has silver and gold for you.
Lord, I desire Your best. Nothing else will do.
So, I will wait for Your treasures and will stop trying to make
things happen my way.
Amen.

Parsley has been clearly called to a pre-eminent position of leadership
within the Body of Christ, as his numerous roles – including TV host,
evangelist, educator, humanitarian and statesman – will attest. But he’d be the
first to tell you that his prominence is solely a function of his willingness
to be used by God in extraordinary ways.
He was 19
when he first led a Bible study in his parents’ backyard. In more than 40 years
since then, he’s built one of the most important and far-reaching Christian
ministries in the United States. He has founded and now leads outreaches with local,
national and worldwide reaches.
This New
York Times best-selling author has successfully advocated for federal
legislation, delivered hundreds of millions of pounds of food and medical
supplies to poverty-stricken areas of the world and changed the lives of
thousands who will shape the cultural landscape in the next generation. He’s in
constant demand to preach the Gospel in pulpits across America and around the
world, and to comment publicly on the moral issues of our day. If none of those
opportunities had ever presented themselves, though, he’d still be Pastor
Parsley, sharing God’s Word with his beloved World Harvest Church, helping his
congregation know God as he does.
His other
ministries include Valor Christian College; Harvest Preparatory School, an
educational institution for local students from preschool through 12th grade;
Hispanic and urban-outreach ministries; a national ministerial alliance; Bridge
of Hope, a world-wide missions organization.
