Good Things Come to Those Who Wait
This verse in Isaiah mentions renewing strength and gaining new strength. It mentions the strength of an eagle’s wings that lifts it high above the earth. It mentions the strength necessary to run without becoming weary and the strength to walk without becoming faint. The key to unlocking this verse is the word "wait."
Spending time with the Lord and waiting upon Him may seem like a passive activity to many, but it actually sets God in motion. Every time we create a space to wait upon the Lord, we create a ripple effect! To behold Him and remain unchanged is impossible.
When we spend time in His presence an exchange takes place; our limited human strength is exchanged for the unlimited strength of God Himself.
You will discover that, though what you’re waiting for is good, the process of waiting on God patiently and faithfully is already a blessing in itself!
What is it that you’re waiting for? Whatever it may be, turn it over to Jesus, put your hope in Him. Lean into Him and put the whole weight of your trust upon this promise of God and let Him show Himself strong on your behalf. He is good to those who wait for Him and seek Him—trust Him and love Him.
‘For since the beginning of the world men have not heard nor perceived by the ear, Nor has the eye seen any God besides You, Who acts for the one who waits for Him’ – Isaiah 64:4 (NKJV).
Yes, good things do come to those who wait!
