Great times today at Beechwood! The good men of CAT graced us with their presence today and YHC was glad to see them! This is YHC’s last Q of the year and the goal was to end on a good note.

Isaiah 30: 15-19
The Lord longs to be gracious to you . . . . Blessed are all who wait for him!
Waiting for God’s help in the midst of trouble is hard; it can be tempting to try to find our own solution first. The Israelites did just that: under threat from their enemies, they sought help from Egypt instead of turning to God (Isaiah 30:2). But God told them that if they would repent and put their trust in Him, they would find strength and salvation (v. 15). In fact, He added, “the Lord longs to be gracious to you” (v. 18).
Waiting for God takes faith and patience. But when we see His answer at the end of it all, we’ll realize it was worth it: “Blessed are all who wait for him!” (v. 18). And what’s even more amazing, God is waiting for us to come to Him!
