Waiting On The Lord

  

Have you ever had a request that you brought before God to only get the answer, WAIT!!

Isaiah 40:31 says 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.

   God does not promise us an easy time of waiting. However he does promise us strength to those that trust and obey. He promises us that we will mount up with the wings of eagles. The bald headed eagle has a wing span of anywhere from 6-7 feet. And can weigh as much as 15 pounds. Their wing span is amazingly huge. Have you ever watched an Eagle Fly? If so you will see that they sore forever. They ca

   Throughout the bible God’s answer was wait. Could you imagine being in an ark with all kinds of animals in a closed in area, for 40 days and 40 nights and still have to wait for God to clear the land. I am sure Noah as faithful as he was. He was a little hopeful to get out of that ark soon. . He was probably so excited to finally get out of that old ark. I am sure he was very thankful when that last Dove did not come back. However he waited and God brought him through it.

   There is a saying, "If God brings you to it… He will bring you through it."

God works for those that love him and wait on him. As we open ourselves to him and his work. He blesses us beyond all measures. Some people look at waiting as being lazy or maybe indifferent. That is far from the truth. Waiting is being ready to obey God’s commands. It is kind of like a soldier on the battle fields waiting for that next command. The command center holds all the shots and timing can be everything. If that soldier goes before his call, He can ruin the whole mission. God is our command center. He says wait. We wait because we know his timing is right. If we were to do it in our timing, we could end up making an even bigger mess of things. When we have the patience and faith, and wait on God. He knows what is best and we will soar like eagles.

If you are waiting on something I encourage you to wait. The answer will come in God’s time. I have experienced this just recently. My family and I have been praying for something for almost 3 years. I was at a point that I thought well maybe God don’t care about my small needs. We are seeing door open that will bring that prayer request to reality.  All things will come to pass if we only wait and Trust.
