Isaiah 40:31 (NKJV) 31 But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.
Nowadays, everything is so fast paced. If we want a coffee or beverage we can go to the drive-through, and just like that our thirst is quenched. The same if we are hungry. Everything is instant.
Transferring money from one bank account to another is instant. We get ahold of people through text messages. We really don’t have to wait for anything. It’s all right there at our finger tips.
This has created a society of impatience. We don’t want to wait. Not even for the things that God has for us. We get into such a fast paced mode that if God takes too long, forget it, we will do it ourselves. Instead of waiting for our answer from God, we will go get it somewhere else.
A lot of leaders today are falling right into this kind of practice. They want everything now, with an attitude that says, “Why do we have to wait on God, we can manufacture it and the people will love it?”. Why? Because it is what they want too.
This is so dangerous. It’s so fake, artificial, and counterfeit. It won’t last long and it wont take long before we realize it doesn’t work.
Jesus says, my sheep hear my voice and follow.
John 10:27 (NKJV) 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
We can make all the excuses for participating in this type of behavior in our walk with God. But if we fall for it, we are responsible for how things turn out.
God knows whether we are truly seeking Him for His answer by avoiding all the fake, fancy, and pretty stuff and sticking with Him.
Those that wait on Him will renew their strength.
It’s our choice whether or not we mount up with wings like eagles, run and not be weary, and we walk and not faint.
