Word- Do You Need Strength

'...THEY THAT WAIT UPON THE LORD SHALL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH...' ISAIAH
40:31

God doesn't tell us how He'll answer our prayers, or even when, but He
does promise one thing to those who wait on Him - strength. Tony Evans
points out that the word wait comes from a Hebrew word used in the
making of rope. Every rope starts as a thread, and every thread added
just increases its strength. Getting the idea? Every time you wait on
the Lord you add another thread to the rope; you get a little stronger,
a little more able to cope. Wait in God's presence. But waiting isn't
always passive, sometimes it's active; like waiting on a customer and
seeing that his or her needs are met. Waiting is not so much a position,
it's a focus. Isaiah says, 'Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose
mind is stayed [focused] on Thee...' (Isaiah 26:3 KJV). Whether it's
sitting prayerfully in God's presence, or actively carrying out his
will, you've got His assurance that your strength will be renewed.
Listen to these promises: 1) 'Wait on the Lord; Be of good courage, And
He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the Lord!' (Psalm 27:14
NKJ) 2) '...wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him'
(Psalm 62:5 NKJ) 3) '...as the eyes of servants look to the hand of
their masters...So our eyes look to the Lord our God...' (Psalm 123:2
NKJ). Need more strength? Wait on God more!
