Today's Coach is Adrian Rogers. Today Coach Rogers talks about the Value of Waiting.
"Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagle (Fly Higher).
They will run and not get tired (Run Faster), They will walk and not become weary ( Great Endurance)." Isaiah 40:31
It is good to Wait. In Football you get 6-9 months to Wait till next Season. In those 6-9 months of Waiting we have the opportunity to get Stronger and Faster in the Off Season.
By Waiting the Team and the Coaches get the opportunity to "Gain new Strength."
"When your confidence goes up, your competence goes up."
Zig Ziglar  
The same is true when we are Waiting on God. We get Stronger in preparation for our New Season.
Maybe we decide to get up early and Read the Playbook-Bible before School and Work.
Maybe in the Offseason we decide to Wait on the Lord by getting more involved in Service and Lifting other People Up.
Waiting is not sitting doing nothing though. Waiting is Actively Participating in a Purpose or a Goal. Waiting is Occupying.
Waiting is Going about our Business and Achieving our Goals with God's Purpose and Plan in mind.
Nehemiah was on the move while Waiting for God. Nehemiah was the Leader who led the Nation in Rebuilding the walls of the city.
Just remember, when we Wait we get Stronger, Fly Higher, Run Faster, and Run with Endurance. Isaiah 40:31
We get "Prepared to be Prepared."
Then in God's timing we get in the Game and Make the Impact Plays.
Our new Season is coming to Fly Higher, Get Stronger, Get Faster and Run with Endurance.
It is not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is, 'What are we busy about?' Henry David Thoreau
"ALL GOALS ARE ACCOMPLISHED TWICE. FIRST IN YOUR MIND THEN IN REALITY!"
Be Prepared to be Prepared!
Just Go Win the Day!
Make it Count!
Rick
Phil 4:13

When Delays Are a Blessing
"And therefore will the Lord wait, that He may be gracious unto you." Isaiah 30:18
Many times the Lord will deliberately delay that He may be gracious to us. When Lazarus fell sick, his family sent for Jesus. Instead of coming immediately, Jesus waited (see John 11:1-46). He held back until Lazarus was dead.
And if you read John 11:15, you'll see that He said, "I'm glad," because He had something greater in mind.
God waited four thousand years to send the Lord Jesus Christ after He made that promise. But Galatians 4:4 says He came in the fullness of time.
Never late, never ahead of time, never in a hurry.
Are you in a waiting game...praying days, weeks, months, even years, for something…and God hasn't answered?
Be still and know that in the fullness of time your request will be answered.
