Welcome to today's teaching. I'm Tammy Toney-Butler, Healing Evangelist. The fatigue of waiting. How many of you are waiting? Waiting on a promise to be fulfilled. Waiting on a relationship. Waiting on a breakthrough. Waiting and enduring can be tiring. fatigue can set in and open the door for Satan to come to try to kill, steal, and destroy. Open your hearts to the word of God. Use your sword and draw your strength from the wellspring of living water, never to thirst again. Eat from the bread of life, and never hunger again. Now, let's begin using our sword of truth. Oh, Holy Spirit, help us to listen to this episode in its entirety, to take in this word, to eat and feast on this word so that we are no longer hungry. We are no longer weary, but we draw our strength from you, oh God. In the mighty name of your precious son, Lord Jesus, I pray. Amen. Now, let's read Psalm 13 out of the Complete Jewish Bible. How long, Adonai, will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I keep asking myself what to do with sorrow in my heart every day? How long must my enemy dominate me? Look and answer me, Adon I my God. Give light to my eyes or I will sleep the sleep of death. Then my enemy would say, I was able to beat him and my adversaries would rejoice at my downfall. But I trust in your grace. My heart rejoices as you bring me to safety. I will sing to Adonai because he gives me even more than I need. Now, let's look at Isaiah 40:31 out of the complete Jewish Bible. But those who hope in Adonai will renew their strength that will soar a loft as with eagle's wings. When they are running, they won't grow weary. When they are walking, they won't get tired. Psalm 92:11 out of the complete Jewish Bible. But you have given me the strength of a wild bull. You anoint me with fresh olive oil. Now Psalm 40 out of the complete Jewish Bible. For the leader, a psalm of David. I waited patiently for Adonai till he turned toward me and heard my cry. He brought me up from the roaring pit, up from the muddy ooze, and set my feet on a rock, making my footing firm. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will look on in awe and put their trust in Adoni. How blessed the man who trusts in Adoni and does not look to the arrogant or to those who rely on things that are false. How much you have done, Adonai, my God. your wonders and your thoughts toward us. None can compare with you. I would proclaim them. I would speak about them. But there's too much to tell. Sacrifices and grain offerings. You don't want burnt offerings and sin offerings. You don't demand. Instead, you've given me open ears. So then I said, "Here I am. I'm coming. and the scroll of a book it is written about me doing your will. My God is my joy. Your Torah is in my inmost being. I have proclaimed what is right in the great assembly. I did not restrain my lips, Adonai. As you know, I did not hide your righteousness in my heart, but declared your faithfulness and salvation. I did not conceal your grace and truth from the great assembly. Adonai, don't withhold your mercy from me. Let your grace and truth preserve me always. For numberless evil surround me, my iniquities engulf me, and I can't even see. There are more of them than hairs on my head, so that my courage fails me. Be pleased, Adonai, to rescue me. Adonai, hurry and help me. May those who seek to sweep me away be disgraced and humiliated together. May those who take pleasure in doing me harm be turned back and put to confusion. May those who jer at me aha aha be a gasp because of their shame. But may all those who seek you be glad and take joy in you. May those who love your salvation say always, Adonai is great and glorious. But I am poor and needy. May Adonai think of me. You are my helper and rescuer. My God, don't delay. Put your trust in Adoni, in God. He will never fail you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. He is your strength in a time of weakness.

He is your strength in a time of waiting and enduring.

He is your strength at all times. He is your constant, your sure foundation, your sure foundation. Put your trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding. He is with you in spirit and truth. Seek his truth today. Get alone with God. Listen for his whisper and let Him guide you into all truth. That's today's episode of Reflective Spaces Ministry's podcast. Glory be to Jesus. Glory be to Jesus. Glory be to Jesus.
