Waiting on the Lord - Mark

Psalm 62:5-8
God, the one and only—
I’ll wait as long as he says.
Everything I hope for comes from him,
so why not?

He’s solid rock under my feet,
breathing room for my soul,
An impregnable castle:
I’m set for life.

My help and glory are in God
—granite-strength and safe-harbor-God—

So trust him absolutely, people;
lay your lives on the line for him.
God is a safe place to be.

Thank you Jesus for teaching me patience.

Baptism

John 3 25-30
It's been a while for me here, a good friend sent me a text today saying this " Seven days without Gods word = ONE WEAK", to which I replied "You mean to say = ONE WEAK SOUL..
So when I read John 3 tonight with my wife and got to Vs. 25-30 what we had shared earlier meant more to me. Jesus was baptizing people just as John was and yet the people were choosing to follow Christ more now. John had fulfilled his role in preaching the coming of the Messiah to all and what it would mean to be in his presence, and that we must be baptized in water and in spirit and declare his Holy name as Lord and savior so that we might be saved.
