I woke up this morning thinking about the eagle we saw soaring through the sky last night as we were sitting by the Quillayute River in Forks, WA (yes, this is the same Forks, WA of Twilight fame!). I was reminded of Isaiah 40:31, "But they that 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."
Why is it so hard to wait, especially when I am waiting on the One
Who is the Author and Finisher of my faith (Hebrews 12:2)?
Who had every moment of my life laid out before a single day had passed (Psalm 139:16 NLT)?
Who is ordering my steps (Psalm 37:23)?
Who knows what He is doing and has my life all planned out (Jeremiah 29:11 The Message)?
Who created the heavens and earth and for whom nothing is too difficult (Jeremiah 32:17)
Who will never leave me nor forsake me (Deuteronomy 31:8)
Who has me inscribed in the palm of His hand and can never forget me (Isaiah 49:16)?
Who is so aware of me He and has numbered the hairs on my head (Matthew 10:30)?
Who is able to do exceedingly more than I could ever imagine (Ephesians 3:20)?
Why is it so hard to wait? Why? Lord help my unbelief.
