Wait for It!
¬Ý
’ÄúBut those who wait on Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.’Äù¬Ý Isaiah 40:31
¬Ý
¬ÝWaiting upon the Lord should be the anthem of all.¬Ý It should be spoken all day long.¬Ý If we did so I should think life would have a much different outcome.¬Ý
To wait upon the Lord is exercising patience, but we don’Äôt want to wait, we want everything NOW!¬Ý In the movie Willy Wonka there’Äôs a girl who’Äôs life’Äôs cry was that, ’ÄúI want it now,’Äù and she ended up in a garbage chute.¬Ý
By demanding everything our lives end up loaded with all sorts of garbage.¬Ý How fun is that?¬Ý Here Isaiah speaks of avoiding pitfalls when we wait.¬Ý When we wait our strength will be renewed.¬Ý By waiting upon the Lord we avoid tiresome pitfalls, because He never send us into any unhealthy or harmful place.¬Ý
We’Äôll mount up with eagle’Äôs wings.¬Ý An eagle can pinpoint its target from the air and focus upon the intended goal.¬Ý We will not only see more clearly, but we have risen above the circumstance.
We’Äôll run without becoming weary.¬Ý We’Äôre in a marathon and the Lord wants us to be able to endure and see this race to the end.¬Ý When entering a marathon you must build up the physical body to be strong and fit in order to endure to the end of the race.¬Ý By waiting we allow the Lord to impart into us spiritual strength. Without it we can’Äôt possibly finish well if at all?
We’Äôll walk and not faint.¬Ý Stay the course, remain focused, abide in the word and live in prayer.¬Ý Whatever you do, wait for it!
