WALK! Waiting • ODCC • Pastor Bill Sy • 2/3/13 • Mk 5:21-43
The Principle of Waiting: Lam. 3:24-25 “I say to myself, ‘The Lord is my portion (all I
really need in this life and the next); therefore I will wait for him. The Lord is good
to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is good to wait quietly
(patiently) for the salvation of the Lord”
