Isaiah 40:30-31 Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
Have you ever found yourself to be impatient, that you just cannot wait for something to happen, or some indication of what you should do so that you can just do it. It is a fallacy that only the youth are impatient, as I have met many ‘older’ people who are more impatient than one can bear. To do nothing but wait for the Lord is not as easy as it seems, waiting is not doing nothing, but an activity that takes a lot of discipline and obedience to the wishes of another.
Everything comes to fruit in it’s season, and we often expect things to happen out of season, the result: disappointment. While one waits, you carry on where you are, you carry on doing what you are doing while you are waiting. So we all need to learn how to wait, to look forward in hope to that which we are waiting for, or simply just trusting God to be our hope and not that which we want. It is also while we wait that the LORD renews our strength, and it is He that provides us with the wings to fly like eagles. Wait on the LORD.
Be encouraged today to wait on the LORD.
David
Point to ponder: Learn to wait on the LORD.
