Wait Upon the Lord.mp3Lbest. But the Word of God tells us here that there is an upward pull that’ll lift us right up to the very heart of God. “They that wait upon the Lord shall mount up with wings as the eagle; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”
This is just practical everyday religion, that if you will go apart by yourself and take your Bible, and quietly read and wait upon the Lord and talk to Him, and wait for Him to speak to your heart, soon you will find that you can run and not fall, and walk and not faint. All the needed strength will be available if you’ll only give God a chance.
First you must mount up to the heart of God. There are those that try to run about, to walk in their own strength, running feverishly in the power of the flesh, hoping that they will somehow mount up. But they put the feet before the wings; that is, they run around trying to do good things for the Lord without first getting into the Spirit of the Lord so that His work can be done in His Spirit. But the feet in this verse come long after the mounting up on the wings.
What chance would health have if you never cared for your body? What chance would the glories of nature have if you never paused to watch them? What chance does your soul have if you never take a few moments to have fellowship with God in your hurried life? If you never give Him a chance to talk to your heart and never take time to live in His Word and know His will?
Wait on the Lord. He’ll renew your strength and your spirit, for He’s still on the throne and prayer will change things.
