My favorite
verse in the Bible is Isaiah 40:31, “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”. What are you waiting on? Are you in a situation that is wearing you down right now? No end in sight? One thing we can agree on is that Satan is doing his job--WELL! Waiting is the last thing you wanted to do right now. What you want is to get away
from your problems and be left alone.
When the children of Israel were taken by the Babylonians to another country, depression and homesickness settled into their psyches. They get there and their captors tells them when the music play, to bow down to their god. If they didn't, they will be thrown in the fire. You know the story. The three Hebrew boys Shadrach, Meshack and Abed-nego showed unwavering faith. Despite what the King declared, they did not worship the King’s god. They were throw into the fire. The wait outside the area of the fire had to be torcher. Okay torch-er wasn't a good word but you get the jist. So much had to go through their minds. However, God didn't let them down. When the three Hebrew boys entered the fire, they found Peace waiting there. They had a chat with the Savior and walked out unharmed. You may not be facing this type of persecution but whatever you are facing right now, know God is in control. Every evil scheme goes through God before it hits you. You may question where is God in all of this; He is working on your behalf and controlling the situation but allows Satan to carry out his evil against you. In other words, your circumstance may not change but you will change in your circumstance. While you’re in your storm, have a chat with the Savior. Allow Him to give you what's best for you. He is able to prepare a table for you before your enemies. Now that’s what I’m talking about! Isn't the wait worth it? I wait because good stuff is coming.
