Wait On The Lord
Wait On The Lord
ByWhen faced with setbacks in life, we tend to look all around us, and it can seem as though God is nowhere to be found. And in the interim, sometimes we fall into the negative mindset.
You might look to the left of you and find obstacles there. You might look to the right of you, and see disappointment. You may look behind you, and find failure or regret. And if you look ahead, you may see a dead-end future.
But be encouraged today, the Lord God sees your troubles. He hears your cry for help. He’s not ignoring you, He hears the prayers of the righteous!
When it seems like God is not moving at the pace we want Him to move, we find ourselves taking matters in our own hands. We find ourselves calculating and mapping out a plan of actions when often times God wants us to wait.
On the contrary, when we do wait patiently on the Lord we find ourselves growing weak and faint. While waiting, we discover that our strength is put to the test. But God sees you and He’s waiting on that right time to deliver you into the next dimension of life.
The scripture encourages us in Isaiah 40:31 that those who wait on the Lord will renew there strength. They will mount up on wings as eagles. They will run and not get weary. They will walk and not faint.
And I heard an interesting fact about eagles. Eagles sit on the edge of the rock waiting on the right wind to come through. Then they surrender to the wind, mount their wings and soar. Notice how they wait on the “right” wind.
That’s how we should be when waiting on the Lord. Wait patiently and at just the right time God will come and step in and cause you to “soar” to the next level. Remember my friend, let’s not grow wearing in well doing for in due season we will reap a harvest of blessing if we faint not!
