Welcome to Manic Monday!! I hope and pray that everyone had a great weekend; And is ready to begin another week. This week's themed scripture is Isaiah 40:31. It says, "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." Amen to that!!
In a post from another one of our scripture themed week, we explored the word WAIT. If you would like to read that post, click HERE. Moving right along. Let's define WAIT again. Shall we? :)
Waiting is not an opportunity for you to become discourage or doubt in God's word and His abilities to do far above what we can ever imagine or think. Instead, this is an opportunity to grow in godliness, to become strong in the Lord, to believe in the name of Jesus that you have the victory, to srengthen your faith walk, to draw closer to God. In addition to that, the Lord will bless those who wait on Him.
Speaking of being bless, according to The Dake Bible, there are 14 BLESSINGS from waiting on God. There are as follow.....
1. Salvation - (Genesis 49:18; Psalm 62:1)
2. Daily Necessities - (Psalm 104:27-28; Psalm 145:14-15)
3. Instruction - (Psalm 25:4-5; Psalm 106:13)
4. Answers to Prayer - (Psalm 25:21; Psalm 40:1-3)
5. Courage (Psalm 27:14; Psalm 31:24)
6. Protection and Help - (Psalm 33:18-22)
7. Inheritance - (Psalm 37:7-9)
8. Hope - (Psalm 130:5-6)
10. Renewed Strength - (Isaiah 40:31)
11. Blessings - (Isaiah 30:18; Isaiah 64:4)
12. Boldness - (Isaiah 49:23)
13. Goodness to God - (Lamentations 3:25)
14. Holy Spirit Power - (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8)
After reading this list, please fully understand that your waiting is not a waste of time nor is it in vain. In the midst of your waiting, "give God thanks, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. And be steadfast, immovable always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor (YOUR WAITING) are not in vain," (1 Corinthians 15:58, with emphasis added mine).
