Wait on God
PARTNERED with GEM, Edited by Lena JosephLife can get hard. Feelings from inside, forces from outside—it can become overwhelming.
He asks God, “O LORD, why do you stand so far away? Why do you hide when I am in trouble?”
How many times, like David, have you been perplexed with your situations and have wanted to say the same thing? And yet somewhere deep in your heart, you know that there must be more. There is. The more is in the wait. It is the “be still and know that I am God.” It is the process of renewal.
Isaiah writes, “But they that wait on the Lord shall renew their strength.” He uses three glorious metaphors: a high soaring eagle, a person running without getting weary, and a person on a long difficult walk and not faint.
And how is it you can experience victory even in defeat, peace in turmoil, or strength in a long weary journey? The author of Hebrews gives the answer.
He writes, “Let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most.” And so you come to God and wait.
Wait for Him to speak. Quiet yourself, quiet your agenda, quiet your emotions. Stay with your pain and pressure and wait. Stay with your fears and discouragement and wait. Wait on God. He is there. He is mighty. He has everything you need.
Might you today begin to experience all the grace of our loving God that you need so you can rise up with the wings of an eagle and not be weary or faint?
Prayer
Father, I need You. I need Your grace. I need Your renewal. Today I come to Your throne and wait on You. Be my strength, help me run and not be weary and walk and not faint. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, AMEN.
