Wait upon the Lord!! [ February 12, 2024 ]

Daily Word 🇬🇭

Wait upon the Lord!!
Isaiah 40:31
They that wait upon the Lord, shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not grow weary, they shall walk and not faint. (Paraphrased)

In the Bible the word “wait” means to hope, to anticipate and to trust. To hope and trust in the Lord requires faith, patience, humility, meekness , enduring to the end and obeying God’s commands. “Wait upon the Lord” therefore, means to plant the seed of faith and nourish it.

The verse above says when you genuinely wait upon the Lord, your strength is renewed or restored such that you can do great things for the Lord.

Scripture also says in Psalm 27:14 that:

Wait on the Lord. Be strong take courage and wait for the Lord ( paraphrased)

This verse emphasizes the fact that waiting for the move of the Lord requires courage and patience.

Matthew 7:7
Ask, and you shall receive, seek, and you shall find, knock, and the door will be opened unto you

The verse above from the New testament reassures us that when we bring our requests before God, He will act on them.
