Getting EXACTLY what you want!

We are living in an instant society. We have high speed Internet and we want it at blazing speeds. We have fast food, fast cars, and phones. We want it NOW!

What happens when God says WAIT?! We go into a panic. What if waiting meant getting EXACTLY what you wanted. Would you be willing to sit back and patiently wait on the LORD? Even if it took years? Sometimes it takes GOD a LONG time in our concept of time to give us what we asked for. When we look back and see how we got where we wanted to be, we can see God's handiwork. We can see how He was precisely moving things around to prepare us for our blessings.

God's time is not our time though. The word says, "They that wait upon the LORD shall RENEW their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint! Isaiah 40:31 (King James Version)".  Re-new means to make new again. It means that you always have your strength. HE not only keeps you strong while you are waiting but your strength and endurance are increased. Just as lifting weights build strength and endurance so does waiting. Once the wait is over, you are able handle the NEW things that HE has prepared for you. 

You can RUN and not be weary! You can WALK and not faint! Wait in obedience on the LORD!
