"Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for 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 40:30-31) ESV
We live in a world where we are told to chase our dreams. The Word of God tells us to wait on the Lord. That means we present our requests to the Lord and we wait for him to open the doors.
Waiting, as Tom Petty famously sang, is the hardest part. Waiting challenges our faith, and yes it is a challenge. It also strengthens our walk with the Lord. When we make our stand in the Lord we know we are standing on a firm foundation.
Wait upon the LORD, make your stand in him. That is the challenge for each one of us. Make your stand today so that you shall run and not be weary, and walk and not be faint. Amen
