Daily Devotion - Episode 239 - Learning to Wait
Daily Devotion - Isaiah 40:31 - Learning to Wait
Sometimes it seems that life is like a tug-of-war game between hurry and wait. But scripture shows us time and time again that learning to wait on God's timing is always our best option.
As I sit in my quiet time, I marvel at God’s wisdom.
I believe I have been in a season of waiting. But, in actuality, who do you know that has not been in a season of waiting? We all have to wait for things at some point in our lives. Waiting is a topic that is dear to my heart for many reasons. One of them being I don’t like to wait and I have never considered myself a patient person. And if I were to be completely honest with you, I was ok with not being patient. While I was born on the beautiful island of Jamaica (think “Island time”), I have lived in New York for the majority of my life and I have become a New Yorker through and through – fast-paced and no patience.
What I have discovered is how God shows up in times of waiting, and how many lessons I have learned as a result of waiting and trusting the process. I can say that I have truly learned how to trust God. Whether I get the answer I desire or not, I can know that God loves me with an everlasting love. And I don’t mean that as a pat answer. I truly mean that I have discovered what it means to have a relationship with my Heavenly Father. I see it in the way He speaks to my heart through devotions. I see it in the people that He sends in my life to speak life over me, and to encourage me along the journey. I see it in the doors He opens (or shuts) when I fully trust Him and stop relying on my own wisdom.
I want to share a few verses that have become my go-to for waiting and trusting my Heavenly Father:
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. Isaiah 40:31 NIV
Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; Psalm 37:7a NIV
The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still. Exodus 14:14 NIV
