When we are young we wait for the next birthday. When we are older, we try to ignore it!
When we are waiting to hear back from a job appllication or appllications we can feel like nothing is happening.
And there are plenty of long waits these days. Maybe we are waiting for the right person to marry. You understand my points here. We will experience waits.
The question is, how will we handle them? If we have a little bit of faith that God, not us, is in charge of things, then we may have a "What I Can Isaiah Attitude". See Isaiah 40
We are not waiting on others; we are not waiting on the economy to get better but WE ARE WAITING ON THE LORD. There is a promise that goes with this. If we keep our focus, there is on the Lord, we will have our strength renewed. We will be lifted up an eagle on the wings. And how does that happen? There is an invisible force that is lifting up the eagle. That is called wind. It is uncontrollable. If the eagle didn't wait as he took off from a high point, he would crash.
There are lots of people, me included, who at times want something to happen in my timing. I don't want to wait. We are, aren't we a rather impatient society?
How many people now thank you for standing in line for a few minutes? That is because most people cannot stand to wait to be served.
We can wait. We must wait for God to strengthen us. If we don't, we take a nose dive.
Let's soar after the wait...however long that may be.
