Waiting

We have such an amazing God. He knows how to reach out to each of us in a way that draws us closer to Him. For me this week it was in song......

I've been in worry mode. Not a good place to be. But in the midst of all my worrying, the words to a song on the radio pierced my heart........"Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord, wait upon the Lord we will wait, upon the Lord". I thought of the verse that says to delight myself in the Lord and He will give me the desires of my heart, and the verse that says "you have not because you have not asked"......"Seek first, the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you......I teared up, and began singing "You are the Everlasting God", repenting for my lack of faith, my lack of patience and worshipped.....

Isaiah 40:31 (The Message)
But those who wait upon God get fresh strength. They spread their wings and soar like eagles,
They run and don't get tired, they walk and don't lag behind.

Waiting is the hardest part. That's a quote from someone. Speaking of that verse in Isaiah, that's a great song, wasn't it done by John Michael Talbot? Hmmm...I'm going to have to find that.
