For years I’ve been patient, ready to let things happen as they will. I’m not one to push for a solution, or a path forward. Especially when it concerns others. For myself? I push all the time.
This evening, unwinding from a long Sunday day, this thought popped into my mind and I know it to be a direction from God.
“I’m Not Waiting.”
Who’s not waiting? Was God telling me He’s not waiting, or telling me to take the attitude that the good ol’ fashioned me, myself and I should not wait.
Time will tell.
Has he waited for this time we’re living in? Perhaps. Have I waited long enough? Probably. I’m at the point of not waiting. There’s much to be done, so I’m picking up the pieces to do them. I feel His strength building within me. His word speaks loudly.
“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:
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.”
(Isaiah 40:28-31, KJV)
“Wait” does not mean doing nothing, rather, it means to “look eagerly for.” You don’t do that by doing nothing. You keep your focus, hope, to look for… Even when you are awaiting what is to come.
What am I waiting for? I think I know, but I know I’m looking eagerly ahead. There are great things on the horizon. Will you wait with me?
