Scripture Reading: Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)
"But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."
Devotional:
Waiting on the Lord is an act of faith. It requires trusting God's timing even when our own desires urge us to rush forward. The promise in Isaiah 40:31 is not just about physical renewal but also spiritual strength. As we wait, God is working behind the scenes, preparing us for what lies ahead. Waiting is not passive; it's a time for growth, reflection, and preparation.
Reflection:
Consider areas in your life where you feel rushed or anxious. How might God's timing differ from your own? Reflect on past experiences where waiting resulted in a greater blessing than you initially imagined.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, teach me to wait upon You with faith and patience. Help me to trust in Your perfect timing and to find strength in Your promises. Renew my strength as I seek Your will above my own. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Action:
Identify one area in your life where you need to practice waiting on God. Write a prayer asking for patience and trust in His timing, and place it somewhere you will see daily.
