WAITING ON GOD
“My
way is hidden from the LORD,
 And my just claim is passed over by my God”?
 28
Have you not known?Have you not heard?The everlasting God, the LORD,The Creator of the ends of the earth,Neither faints nor is weary.His understanding is unsearchable.
 29
He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.
30
Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall,
31
But those who wait on the LORDShall renew their strength;They shall mount up with wings like eagles,They shall run and not be weary,They shall walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40: 27-31
Waiting on the Lord is not the same thing as waiting for God. Godwants us to wait on him and not wait for Him. Many a times we donothing claiming that we are waiting for God. God does not want us tobe idle doing nothing. Thessalonians 3:10 says,
“
If a man will not work,he shall not eat
”
. Waiting on God means,
“
To keep yourself busy doing
 
good and helping others
”
. Doing whatever you are inspired to do tocontribute to the growth of
God’s
kingdom while you are waiting toreceive instruction or direction from Him.Waiting on God is not a passive activity, but a period of sensitivity to thepromptings of the Holy Spirit. It is a period when your focus is totallyon God and nothing else. It is a period of reaching out to God, andkeeping in the centre of His will. It is the key to renewing our strengthwhenever we feel drained or dry in our spirit man.When a car runs low on fuel, it is taken to the fuel station for a refill.Waiting on god, takes us to the very presence of God where we arerefilled with the power and glory of God, and then our strength isrenewed and we are refreshed.
Acts 4:31
 
“ 
 And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake theword of God with boldness.
” 
 
The apostle where all in one place waiting on God, and as they prayedthey were all filled afresh with the power of God! They received morestrength to continue the word of the gospel despite all the persecutionsthey were facing.Whenever you feel like giving up then
it’s
time to go back to your source(God), and receive a fresh anointing.In these last days many believers are going to fall by the way side, by ifwe make it our habit of going to
God’s
presence on a regular basis, Hewill keep make us strong and uphold us whenever we feel weary. Thewords on the lips of everyone are
“
credit crunch
”
. So much negativity isgoing around. Fear has grip the nation as many do not know what thefuture holds for them. This is the time to look up to God, keeping yourfocus Jesus, whom is
“
the author and the finisher of our faith
