Patience Day 47
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
In elementary school, we are taught that a verb is a word of
action. The verb “wait” does not invoke the idea of progress or action. It is
important, however, to note that the act of waiting requires a specific choice
with a specific outcome intended. Just as someone actively runs to a predetermined
destination, waiting also suggests an expected result.
When we wait on the Lord, we show that we are not casually
loitering and looking to see if there will be some coincidental encounter.
Either we wait on the Lord knowing that He will arrive and take action in our
lives, or we simply go through the motions. Praying in times of trouble just because
we were taught to do so, but without any true expectation for God to impact our
circumstances, is only looking - not waiting. Waiting is trusting and
believing.
