Waiting on God
“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 40:31
We live in a RUSH AGE! Everyone seems to be in a hurry. As Christians, we must take time each day to wait on (before) God. Jesus told us to enter into our closet and shut the door—Matthew 6:6. When we take time for God, our lives will change. People will see Christ in us.
I. THE PEOPLE—“They that wait.”
A. Dedication—Psalm 55:17. Here the Psalmist says that he sought God evening, morning, and at noon. A dedicated person will find time to wait before God!
B. Detained—Acts 2:4. Here 120 people waited for 10 days, then God poured out His Holy Spirit to the waiting people. Time spent in waiting before God is not wasted time!
C. Divine—Psalm 46:10. Be still, allow God to speak to you. Prayer is not all talking—it is listening also! Do you allow God to speak to you?
