Wait

Isaiah 40:31 (KJV) But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength

Waiting. No one really likes it. It's not fun when you're sitting in traffic; it's boring when you're waiting at the dentist office; it can be especially tiring when you're waiting on a phone call from someone. Maybe you're ready to move forward on something and someone else is holding you up. The devil does try to frustrate and stop God's plan for your life, but sometimes he tempts us the other way. He wants us to make a rushed decision, or speak up about something too soon, etc., to get us ahead of God. Sometimes God is saying "wait" - there's a trap ahead. God is trying to keep us out of the path of that car down the road that is swerving into the oncoming lane. He is wanting us to wait on making that purchase today, because tomorrow something better is coming along. When you feel pressed in from every side, don't be too quick to make an irrational decision. If you try to move ahead in your own power, you'll be more frustrated, wore out, tired and regretful. Wait on the Lord. Wait for His peace to be the acid test to know when it's time to move ahead. He promises as you wait on Him that He will give you the strength to overcome!

Have A Blessed Day
