"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." Isiah 40:31 (KJV)
Today, I am in office. There is some work to be cleared. As I took a breather, I saw this bookmark that my predecessor left behind. It is a simple verse. Today, it brought me another "moment" in my life. A moment I will remember. He just spoke. I understood what He meant, once again.
Impatience is a trademark of me these days. Perhaps the work that I do had sparked off this much more. Something I need to look into. There are many things that require time to cultivate, to appreciate and to learn.
This very verse answers my inadequacies. I keep finding myself wanting to accomplish more, in a shorter time. Yet, I find myself tire out very easily. As usual, my agenda had overtaken His. I am to wait. Yet....wait....is such a torture at times. Without waiting for His guidance, His revealing of path, His manifold wisdom that provides me the inspiration, instruction and support I need, I am impatient for nothing.
To do the utmost, for His highest. This requires waiting on Him, for Him. That's where strength comes from. In receiving through the wait. "Nothing" happening in our lives, doesn't mean He is not doing anything. Thus, wait.
