Waiting on the Lord…whether it’s something concerning us or someone else…it’s a hard thing to do. But I read the following this morning that really got me thinking differently about waiting. ”What you become while waiting is more important than what you are waiting for.” My first thought went to Isaiah 40:31, “But those who wait upon the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” We will have Spiritual transformation that comes through this faithful waiting…infusing us with the Lord’s strength as we patiently persevere. And then there’s Psalm 37:34 that tells us to, “Wait for the Lord and keep His ways. He will exalt you to inherit the land.” So again as we wait we are blessed with hopeful expectation that God is good and only does what is good for His people. So in the end, my Spiritual growth and what I’ve become as I patiently wait on the Lord is far more important eternally than what I’m waiting for.
