Isaiah 40: 31
They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Teach me LORD to wait!!!!
There is a story about eagles that really speaks to me about waiting patiently: It is said that eagles love the storm, they wait for the high winds of the storm and when it blows, they "mount up" and let the storm carry them aloft, above the storm. What I love about this story is that the eagle does not fear the storm, instead they use the storm to ride the strength of it. They expend only the energy needed to spread their wings and chart their course, the rest is done by the power of the wind. When the eagle has to use allot of energy and strength of his own is when he goes "against the wind".
We can learn much from this story; storms in life will come. The storms will arise with signs or unexpectedly, but they will come. When we see a storm, fear not; look to the wind of the Holy Spirit for the right time to spread the wings and let the wind lift you above the storm. The Holy Spirit will lift you up and you will rise without effort. If, however, you try to go against the wind, you will use enormous strength and will grow weary and faint.
WAIT, I SAY, UPON THE LORD AND RISE UP.
