"But they who wait for 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." (Isaiah 40:31 ESV) Sometimes do you feel like you are constantly waiting to get to your next destination? You're the loyal worker who watches new hires overtake you in getting promotions. You're the 40 year old man who knows a woman's heart, but you still haven't found the right one. You're the wife with the maternity clothes, nursery and children's books. But you have no baby. It's disheartening when you feel like you're ready to hop on the plane to your next destination, but the plane never seems to arrive. God tell us these are the moments when we need to cling to Him more, listen to Him and allow Him to refine us in the painful fire of waiting. The airport is a place with opportunities for Him to build our character--patience, self-control, being more loving. Today, stop trying to make things happen at your own time. Instead surrender to the Lord and trust Him. He is never early nor late, and He promises to renew your strength. You will fly.
