Ever felt like you are just so tired of
waiting. Waiting for the promotion, waiting for the blessing,
waiting for the promise, waiting for the baby, or waiting for the
breakthrough. It just feels like all you ever do is wait. I have
good news for you.
Isaiah 40:31 tells us, “But they that
wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength...” I feel this
applies two ways. First, when we wait on the Lord, have patience
with his timing and wait for God to do a work in our lives instead of
doing it ourselves, the bible promises that we will be strengthened
and encouraged. Waiting and not rushing into things produces
patience and wisdom and allows time for us to gain perspective.
Secondly, when we go to a restaurant we
are waited on.... :-) Do you see it? When we serve God with our
whole heart, we will renew our strength as well. That's because,
gathering with fellow Christians, serving God together and sharing
our lives with them will help us to stay strong as they are able to
encourage us.
Whatever you are going through right
now, maybe it's time to sit back and just allow God to do the work in
you that needs to be done and wait for him.
