Waiting on the Lord

"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"

Isaiah 40:31 (New King James Version)


All of us want to have quick answers to our questions ! Someone once said that we are in the 'Instant' age ...instant coffee, instant mail, instant food and we expect instant answers to our prayers.

However there is beauty in waiting upon the Lord . The Bible says those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength ... Its a time of preparation where you get equipped to walk , run and fly the Lord's way !

In Exodus we read that while Moses went up the Mountain to get instructions and the commandments from the Lord the Israelites were expected to wait .

However they couldnt do that ! The Lord wanted to do so much but they just couldnt wait. Instead of waiting for God's word they decided to have their own way and have their own God. Aaron yeilding to the pressure from the people built a golden calf and an altar. They all ended up confessing with their mouths that the idol was the Lord that brought them out of Egypt !

Lets not be impatient and try and decide with our own thinking whats right... lets wait on the Lord...

Lets not be like Aaron yeilding to pressure and take steps in a direction which is very evidently not of God

Lets wait on the Lord and we shall see His perfect plan fulfilled in our lives

James 1 :3-4 says " knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing"

God Bless
