They That Wait Upon The Lord

We learn about ourselves while waiting on God. Are we selfish or shallow or impatient? Waiting will expose it.

More often than not, The Lord is teaching us lessons or developing our faith and confidence in Him as we wait.

Isaiah 40:28-31  Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. . . . He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. . . . Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: . . . 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.

We learn obedience while waiting on God. So, wait for God’s strength, His direction, His comfort, His deliverance. The Lord promised it all. It will come.

Know that God protects and preserves us as we wait.

One day the waiting will be over, Praise God! Isaiah 25:9 “And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”
