Waiting can be hard, unless you know and are confident in what or whom you are waiting for.
What are you waiting for? Better yet, whom do you trust to wait for? Paul tells us there is One who has perfect timing and knows exactly what you need. He writes, “When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners” (Romans 5:6).
What we need, because we have all chosen our will over God’s way, is to be saved from the wrath of God that proceeds from His perfect justice, towards all sin. If our God demonstrated His love towards us, in that He did this while we hated Him, by sending Christ to give His life in our place; can you even imagine what He will do for those who choose Him over their own will and desires? Having justified those who believe by the shedding of His blood on the Cross, those who call on the name of the Lord will be saved from the wrath of God towards all sin. Now isn’t that someone you can trust with your life… someone you can wait on?
Isaiah tells us, “those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.” (Isaiah 40:31).
Whatever you are facing today, can you wait on the Lord, and trust Him to act in your best interest? If you do, you will know a gracious peace beyond measure, and a new strength that will sustain you through whatever life holds, day by day and at the right time.
Choose to wait on the Lord today and find rest in Him.
Choose wisely….

Beautiful location and nice facilities. Price and value is terrific for a group retreat. Just booked a quilt retreat here for next spring and can't wait to go. A lovely hidden secret in Ocean county.

Beautiful atmosphere/scenery. Inspiring speaker. Accommodating me with a gluten free lunch was great. Spoke with a young man who told us that this place changed his life. This gave us a chance to witness to him by telling him the gospel message.

It was a wonderful experience. Besides the spiritual side of it, the place is absolutely gorgeous. Delicious food. The only thing I didn't like were the ants in the bedroom.

I have been to Keswick many times for the monthly hymn sings, and some retreats. Lots of good Christian music and Bible teaching for those who attend, as well as good meals to share around the table. The testimonies from members of the Colony and... Barbara's place attest to the power of Christ to change lives. Always a rewarding experience!read more

This place is a beautiful place to have a retreat. You can join one of Keswicks planned events or use the facilities for you own group. The grounds are beautiful and a great place to find some peace and tranquility.The staff are amazing, and... really make a person feel at home. The grace of God is evident throughout the ministry.My favorite part is the music/worship time. Drawing me to connect with God personally.The meals are prepared with love and very accommodating to special needs.If you're not there for a retreat, and just need a bed and breakfast that is an option as well.read more

Visited the alcohol rehab facility because a friend was in the program. Christian based, very positive environment, 4 month program. They are doing great work there. Visitors allowed every other weekend. We had a great time at one of their... Christian services. We watched the superbowl together and they even fed us! Very generous.read more
