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. (Isa 40:28-31)
Waiting on the Lord does not mean we sit and wait until He does something, it means serving Him. Just as a waiter does all things required of him as he serves the people he waits on, so we must observe to do GOD's will in service to our King. We can't sit on the pew and wait for GOD to move, He is already at work and we are to serve in the Church He is building. Not the bricks and mortar for that is just the building we meet in, but the Living Church which is His body. Each of us, as equipped by GOD with gifts as He has pleased is to do the will and work that He has for us.
When we are in His will, and completely relying on His strength He provides the power and we can overcome the storms that come just as the eagle does when it flies into the storm to get above it. When we rest in Jesus and carry His burden we will run with patience the race that is set before us. When we walk with the Lord and delight in His Word, what a glory He sheds on our way.
IF you are not one of His, because you are not yet born again He calls you to repent; that is surrender to GOD on His terms. He is not willing that any should perish but that all would come to the knowledge of the truth. The truth that is in His Word, that He loves you and wants you to receive Him by faith in His finished work on the Cross of Calvary. Believe Him and be saved today.
If you are part of the Body of Christ, His true Church lay your burdens at His feet, crucified and take up your cross and follow Him.
In Christ,
