Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV) 31 But those who wait on 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.
Waiting can be a hard thing to do. Nobody really likes waiting for anything, especially if we don’t know exactly how long the wait will be.
We like to know what’s going to happen, and when it’s going to happen. And, let’s face it, God doesn’t necessarily time things the way we’d like them to be timed.
But as we learn to wait on Him, things happen. We change.
We learn patience and we get to see ourselves in a new light. Sometimes that light isn’t very positive when we see who we really are and how we behave when things don’t go the way we think they should.
As we wait on God, we need to learn to listen and hear His voice. It’s imperative that we do this, since there will usually be things He will tell us or teach us while we wait. If we spend all of our waiting time griping, we’ll never hear or learn anything.
Conversely, if we spend all of our waiting time trying to figure everything out in our heads, with our own limited knowledge and understanding, we may make a move based on what we think is right, and completely miss what God had for us.
And, if we wait patiently and then we follow the path that God sets before us, only when He tells us to move, our strength will be renewed and we will not have wasted all of our time and effort making something happen ourselves that wasn’t meant to happen.
Wait on Him!
