Topic :Strength In Waiting.
Memory Verse:Isaiah 40:31. But 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.
Bible Reading :Isaiah 40:28-30. Key Verse : v29.
Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:
Every man that ever walked with God did so on God’s terms and not theirs. Because our human nature is flawed, we can make mistakes. Some mistakes can be as a result of wrong judgement especially when we find ourselves in tight corners. Most of the time, we may be tempted to do it our own way as to come out in a jiffy. Many people want things to happen at their own timing. Sometimes we may be tempted to think that God has delayed and try to do something to help things work our faster. Many has fallen into some traps because they ran faster than their creator. Such people end up with much regrets and pain. “There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Proverbs 16:25.
Men that become kingdom champions are men who know how to wait on the Lord. I once heard a man of God say that “your waiting time, is not your wasting time”. It is always good to call on God. When we call and answers seems to delay, we will need to seek his face. Seeking his face sometimes may involve waiting. Waiting involves patient faith that keeps holding on till desired changes are made visible . “O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands .” Job 14:13-15.
The place of waiting is the place of renewal of strength. This is because the place of waiting is the place of fresh encounters that reinforces our convictions in Christ. Convictions on their own are products of personal experiences of God, revelational knowledge and encounters which dispels every form of confusion and doubts in the journey of faith. “That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God. Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son :”
Colossians 1:10-13.
Prayer :Thank you Father God because you are ever faithful. Today, I ask for grace to always wait on you anytime need be. Help me not to run faster than you for any reason. Thank you for making me fruitful in you in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading : Genesis 39:1-23.
