Text: Psalm 37:7
Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.
Magpakalinong ka sa presensya sang Ginoo kag maghulat nga mapailubon sa iya nga himuon.
Indi ka magpanginit sa mga tawo nga mainuswagon, nga madinalag-on sa ila malaot nga mga plano.
Topic: Patiently waiting for the Lord's Coming
Matyagang naghihintay
Sa pagbabalik ng
Panginoon.
Introduction:
There are Characters in the bible, waiting for the Lord's coming
1. King David
-> Psalm 27:14
Wait on the Lord : be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
Magsalig kamo sa Ginoo!
Magpakalig-on kamo kag indi madulaan sang paglaom.
Magsalig lang kamo sa Ginoo!
2. Disciples of the Lord
-> Acts 1:10-11
10. And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11. Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Samtang sige ang ila tan-aw sa langit, may duha ka lalaki nga nagabayo sang puti nga hinali lang nga nagtindog malapit sa ila 11 kag nagsiling, “Kamo nga mga taga-Galilea, ngaa nagatindog pa kamo diri nga nagatangla sa langit? Ining Jesus nga inyo nakita nga gindala paibabaw magabalik diri sa kalibutan. Kag kon paano siya nagpaibabaw, sa amo man sina nga paagi ang iya pagbalik.”
3. Simeon & Hanna
-> Luke 2:28-31
28. Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said,
29. Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word:
30. For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
31. Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
Pagkakita ni Simeon sa bata, ginkugos niya kag nagdayaw siya sa Dios nga nagasiling,
29 “Karon Ginoo, puwede mo na ako kuhaon,
kay natuman na ang imo ginpromisa sa akon.
Matawhay na ang akon hunahuna,
30 kay subong nga adlaw nakita ko na ang Manluluwas
31 nga imo ginpreparar para sa tanan nga tawo.
I. Our attitude while
patiently waiting for the
Lord's coming.
Ang ating ugali habang
matyagang naghihintay sa
pagbabalik ng Panginoon
A. Must have the attitude
of enduring hardship of
life.
May ugaling tinitiis ang
Kahirapan ng buhay.
-> 2 Timothy 2:3
Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
Mag-ambit ka sa mga pag-antos bilang maayo nga soldado ni Cristo Jesus.
2. Why Can We Endure? Our Hope As Believers
✅ Hardship is temporary, but our reward is eternal
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 says: “For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”
17 Ang mga kabudlayan nga amon ginaantos diri sa kalibutan umalagi lang kag indi gid mabug-at. Kag tungod sang amon mga pag-antos, may ginatigana ang Dios nga balos para sa amon nga wala sing katapusan kag indi gid makatupong sa amon pag-antos. 18 Kay wala namon ginapasulabi ang mga butang nga amon makita diri sa kalibutan, kundi ginapasulabi namon ang mga butang nga indi makita. Kay ang mga butang nga makita umalagi lang, pero ang mga butang nga indi makita wala sing katapusan.
✅ God is with you in every storm
God never promised we would not face problems. But He promised: “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you” (Isaiah 43:2).
Kon mag-agi ka sa tubig, magaupod ako sa imo. Kon magtabok ka sa mga suba indi ka malumos. Kon mag-agi ka sa kalayo, indi ka mapaso; ang dabdab sini indi makaano sa imo.
✅ God uses hardship for your good
Romans 8:28 assures us: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
Nakahibalo kita nga ang tanan nga nagakalatabo ginahimo sang Dios para sa kaayuhan sang mga nagahigugma sa iya, nga iya mga ginpili suno sa iya katuyuan.
B. Our eyes is set only
upon Jesus.
Ang ating mga mata ay
Nakatuon lang kay Hesus
-> Hebrews 12:2
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Isintro ta ang aton panulok kay Jesus nga amo ang ginasandigan sang aton pagtuo halin sa ginsuguran hasta sa katapusan. Gin-antos niya ang paglansang sa krus kag ginbaliwala niya ang ini nga kahuy-anan, tungod kay ginhunahuna niya ang kalipay nga nagahulat para sa iya. Kag sa karon didto na siya nagapungko sa tuo sang trono sang Dios.
2. Feed your spirit with God’s Word and prayer
Psalm 119:50 says: “My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise preserves my life.” When you feel weak, hold on to His promises, and talk to God like a friend — pour out all your sadness, fear, and hurt to Him. He understands.
3. Remember God’s faithfulness
Look back at your life. Remember how God brought you through hard times before? He is the same God yesterday, today, and forever. If He helped you then, He will help you now.
4. Do not give up — your breakthrough is near
Galatians 6:9 says: “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Do not quit just before your miracle comes. Endure a little longer.
C. Walk uprightly in the
Lord.
