Can You Wait?

Question to think about: Do you see the value of waiting?

I am always behind in my communication with others . . . emails, facebook, voicemail, and texting. The expectation for an immediate reply reduces time to think and pray before giving a response. It seems to me that there was value in the past days when an individual had time to respond to the now almost extinct written and mailed letter.

The thing is . . . communication with God often includes a time of waiting . . . to trust when it seems that there is a significant space between our request and a divine answer.

Transformation occurs when we wait:
But those who wait for the Lord
[who expect, look for, and hope in Him]
shall change and renew their strength and power;
they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God]
as eagles [mount up to the sun];
they shall run and not be weary,
they shall walk and not faint or become tired.
(Isaiah 40:31, AMP).


Wait on God today.
Trust God in the waiting.
Experience renewal and transformation in the time you wait.

Learning with you to wait,
Kerrie
