Isaiah 40:31

ISAIAH 40: 31 "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."

WHAT DOES IT REALLY MEAN TO WAIT ON THE LORD?
TO WAIT MEANS TO LOOK FOR, TO EXPECT
TO LINGER FOR, TO BIND TOGETHER...(STRONG'S CONC.)
WE LOOK FOR, EXPECT, AND LINGER FOR THE LORD. TO WAIT FOR HIM IS TO PAUSE, EXPECT TO HEAR FROM HIM...TO LINGER TO HEAR BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT WHAT GOD IS GOING TO SAY WILL CHANGE YOU FOREVER, YOU LINGER FOR WHAT HE IS GOING TO DO BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU WILL NEVER BE THE SAME...WE WAIT FOR OUR LORD, WE LONG FOR HIM SO WE CAN DO NOTHING BUT WAIT EXPECTANTLY, WE LONG FOR AN ENCOUNTER WITH HIM, FOR WE KNOW THAT WHEN WE SEE HIM, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM FOR WE SHALL SEE HIM AS HE REALLY IS. WE ALSO BIND OURSELVES TOGETHER WITH THE LORD, NEVER TO BE SEPARATED FROM HIM AGAIN, IN WAITING WE BECOME ONE WITH HIM, HIS STRENGTH BECOMES OUR STRENGTH, AND WE MOUNT UP WITH WINGS LIKE EAGLES, WE SOAR WITH HIM...HE SAYS, "COME UP HIGHER," SOARING IN THE WINDS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, SOARING UPON THE WINGS OF WORSHIP, BEHOLDING HIS GLORY.
SO LET US LINGER BY HIM, LET US BIND OURSELVES TOGETHER WITH HIM, AND SOAR WITH HIM, IN THE HEIGHTS OF HIS GLORY.
AMEN
