WAIT AND SOAR

 

WAIT AND SOAR

Is. 40:31 But those who wait on the LORD will find new strength. They will fly high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not grow faint. NLT

Waiting is like serving at a table. It is like asking Him what He wants. Those who wait on the Lord are seeking to know what He wants. He who seeks the mind and will of the Lord will find it, be strengthened and equipped to do it. He will not be weak and unable to do what he is given to do. Those who wait on the Lord find all that they need in order to fulfill God’s plan for their lives. They will have the energy and enthusiasm needed to serve the Lord. They will be free to serve Him without the baggage of life to hold them back.

Don’t be in such a hurry all the time. No one comes to the end of life wishing they had hurried more. No one will face death glad they missed out on the joys of living because they were always in such a hurry. No one will be glad they missed out on heaven because they were too busy to give God the time of day. No one will be glad they neglected to feed their soul daily because they were just too busy to bother. Slow down and learn to wait on the Lord.

To wait on the Lord means we first seek Him out before we determine the paths we travel on. It means that we linger until we know for sure what He wants us to do before we strike out on our own. It means that we slow down and enjoy the journey of life the Lord has laid out for us to travel. Remember, the Lord is in no hurry. If we want to stay in step with Him, we have to travel at His speed and not our own.

Wait on the Lord and you will discover the true secret to happiness. You will soar high above those things in life that would harm you or slow you down. You will have the strength to persevere all the days of your life. The Lord is our strength; wait on Him and you will live in victory and know His peace.
