Waiting on GodSample

I would love to tell you that God always swoops down to rescue us from every struggle, but that isn’t true. He does, however, promise to be with us in our troubles. So don’t give up. Catastrophe is the time to run into God’s arms, not away from them. 

Those are not just words from a preacher in the pulpit. They are from me—a man who became an orphan and a widower in the same year. I lost some of the most important people in my life in a very short period of time. It has sometimes been a struggle to rise above the pain and heartbreak. 

But each day, I wait upon the Lord for new strength, trusting in His mercy, weaving the pieces of my life together with Him. Sometimes I get tired and I can’t run. All I can bring myself to do is walk. But as long as He walks with me, I will not faint. I will trust Him for new strength to carry on, fulfill the call, finish well and meet Jesus in the place where there is no more loss, no more struggle, no more tears. 

How can you learn to wait upon God?
