“Wait on the Lord”

“Wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord.” Psalm 27:14 NIV

Verse Reflections:  This quiet time allows me to wait on God.  If I wake up in the morning and begin running filing every minute of the day, I do not take the time to wait on Him.  I must allow Him to come to me.  His prevenient grace goes before us and prepares the way.  However, if we do not stop our busy lives we do not allow ourselves to walk on the path He has prepare and created for us to walk on.  Today, let us wait on God.  We will be strong.  We will “take heart” and take this challenge seriously.    Yes, we will wait on the Lord.  We will be strong and eat the foods He has created for us.  In waiting for Him, we allow ourselves a strength we cannot have otherwise.  Be strong.  Wait on the Lord for that strength.  Be quiet, be still and wait.

Prayer:  This morning Lord I wait on You to come to me.  I pause an extra minute in the quiet to allow You to come my way.  I love the idea of You coming to me in the quiet of the morning.  Thank You for loving me and giving me strength just by Your mere presence.  I am so glad that I am keeping my appointment with You this year.  It is by my coming to You and my waiting for You that I am given the strength that is allowing me to eat differently.  I am amazed that this strength has been waiting on me but I failed to wait on You to bring it to me.  This morning I honor You, I honor myself by waiting on You, by waiting on this power.  Thank You for the privilege of this strength.  Thank You for the privilege of spending time with You in the mornings and waiting on You to bring me the strength that allows me to successfully eat for You.
