What have you wanted most, waited for, and longed for

in your life? Have you been looking and watching for that

dream to happen in your life? Do you know where that

answer will come from?

Jacob longed for God's salvation. As he blessed his

sons before death, he continued in thankful prayer---

"I have waited for Your Salvation O LORD" (Gen 49:18).

He wrestled with God for a blessing, and now could see

around him many years later the faithfulness of God.

The Writer to the Hebrews tells us that we should be

watching while we wait for His second coming---

"So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many;

and to them that look for Him He will appear the

second time without sin to Salvation" (Heb 9:28). The

Writer hoped for that day that God would perfect him

and the God of Salvation would accept him without sin.

As Jesus explained Salvation to the woman at the well,

He stressed the importance of truthfulness before God,

and that as we hear that still, small voice, we worship---

"You worship who you don't know: we know Who we

worship, for Salvation is from the Jews; But the time will

come, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship

the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father searches

for such to worship Him. God is a Spirit: and they that

worship Him, must worship Him in spirit and in truth.

(John 4:22-23). Jesus promises His Spirit will never

leave us and that His Salvation is that hope for us

as we worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Let us remember who is our Savior. God's Name is Jehová

Yeshua . He is the God of Salvation when the impossible

situation troubles us. He is the God that sends us a message

of hope when we don't believe we can make it . Raise your

hands to the Lord Of Salvation. Praise Him and thank Him

as the Messiah of Salvation Today!
