Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon The Lord shall renew their strength ; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary ; and they shall walk, and not faint.
To wait upon The Lord is not the same as waiting on a bus or to wait upon the dentist. Waiting on The Lord is active, engaged, expectant. Do we have strength to wait on Jesus?
We don't just wait for God to do something, we wait upon Him. our faith has focus, an object: Jesus. We rest in Him, allowing Him to renew our strength, to help us so that we can run and not be weary. We turn our lives over to Him and trust Him.
So often, we waste energy trying to impress Jesus, see how many committees we serve on, how much we do! But when we run ahead if Him, we end up weary. sometimes we need to wait: listening, expecting, allowing Him to renew our souls.
Father God, Lay Your hand of grace, to guide us today to do all things that bring glory and honor to You Amen
HAPPY BLESSED THANKSGIVING ALL!!
