Does it seem like we are in a waiting game period right now?
But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint
Isaiah 40:31
Yes, we are all waiting for the throes of this horrible health pandemic to be over. However, let’s not waste our waiting. Instead, let’s cause our waiting to count for something more
The old Hebrew word for “wait” in the verse above, qavah, means to wait for, to look eagerly for, to expect and hope. It also means to be bound up with something or someone, or to be collected.
What if every time we met with the Lord, we came with this goal in mind? As we wait on Him, let’s ask the Holy Spirit to draw us into deeper communion with the One Who Loves Us Beyond Reason. As we choose to become still and genuinely know that He is God, let’s bask in His presence and Word to satisfy and complete us. Yes, He really can do this. And from the overflow of His presence, our thoughts will be collected with His thoughts and His heart. Our waiting on Him will be good for us and those around us, guaranteed.
I want to do this kind of waiting. Jesus invites each of us to come have a meal with Him, a banquet that promises to over-satisfy us with His goodness, kindness, mercy, courage, Holy Spirit fire, compassion, and His love. Everything else will fall into place when we come. We will know what to do next and for when our staying at home time is finally over. We will have a fresh vision for our lives and how to accomplish His purposes. Many of life’s questions answered when we wait and are held tightly by Jesus.
Yes, let’s make this type of waiting become a way of life.
Psalm 46:10, Revelation 3:20, Psalm 23:5-6
